Research suggests that parents that are involved in their child’s school at less once or more a year have fewer behavioral problems, are better academically, and will complete high school. Having parents and children interaction in the child’s school results in a positive effect especially in the elementary and secondary levels of school. It is also evidence that teachers tend to pay more attention to their students within their class that have parents involved in the school. This is where teachers notice changes in the child’s behavior or even academic learning and studying. The teacher is able to pin-point the early stages of the problems. In both cases the parent involvement builds positive affect within a teachers’ self-perception, job satisfaction and parent-teacher interaction (Parental Involvement in Schools, 2013, p. 2). Schools can also adopt Volunteer programs in which parents or even senior citizens can become involved within the school. The Intergenerational program allows senior family members (grandparents) to volunteer in which they have specific task to perform from the teacher. The Intergenerational program gives seniors time to reflect on certain situations within their history and they can share it with the students. Now for children that do not have grandparents that come into the school, they can always ask and encourage their grandparents at home to tell them about their past (Spudich, 2010, pp.
