More research: parent involvement works!
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008And you thought those dinner conversations and parent-teacher conferences didn’t matter :-)….
A pair of University of New Hampshire economists add more proof to what we’ve known for years — parent involvement makes a proven difference for your kids and our schools. Read the newest parent involvement research here.
These guys even put a pricetag on it, saying that increased involvement is worth the equivalent of $1000 more in spending for the average school district. We probably shouldn’t wait for our checks in the mail, but we certainly should stay involved and help others get it, too.
