Abstract
The paper analyzes the relationship between socioeconomic status of urban parents and the extent of their involvement in their children's academic life. The researcher hypothesizes that a direct relationship exists between socioeconomic status and parental involvement. The literature review examines the relevance of parental involvement in education, reasons to promote parental involvement in education, and barriers to parental involvement in education that may include parental socioeconomic status.

Conclusions/Discussion
From the Paper
"While collaborative involvement from parents is important to children's education, in many instances a lack of parental involvement is still evident in the school (Booth & Dunn, 1996). There are many reasons for this, including lack of time, confidence, attitudes regarding parent's role in education and parent's socio-economic status (Booth & Dunn, 1996). This study will focus on the role of socio economic status in parental involvement."

Abstract
Parental involvement in education has been demonstrated to have a very positive effect on the social, emotional, and intellectual progress of disadvantaged and ethnic minority school children - notably, the children of Hispanic ethnicity. This paper shows that, as a result, many educational professionals and community leaders encourage greater parental participation in school programs and in their children's day-to-day educational process. The paper discusses the problems of ethnic minority / Hispanic students who are unique in many ways. It shows that the Hispanic child may be at a competitive disadvantage in school because of language differences, attendance inconsistencies (transportation issues), school programs' placement, racism, low expectations on the part of teachers, conflicting values between the home culture and school and inherent social barriers.
From the Paper
"Meanwhile, information about poor educational experiences for Hispanic youth has seemingly become a motivating factor for many schools and citizens who are not satisfied with the educational system as it is. Indeed, when parents (of all ethnic groups) and schools work closely together, those children go farther in school, and the schools they attend are stronger, according to a study (San Diego Office of Education, 1997). This study used data from a nationally diverse sample of 21,814 students and their parents - data that were used in 66 different studies - and concluded: "parental involvement has a powerful effect on eighth graders' achievement." The research shows that parents working closely with teachers helps set up a "curriculum of the home" which has an average effect on achievement that is twice as large as family socioeconomic status. Among the concepts in the survey's curriculum of the home are: parent-child conversations about everyday events, discussion of leisure reading, "joint analysis of televiewing," expressions of affection, and interest in children's academic and personal growth."

Parental Involvement in Education, 2004.
A discussion of parental involvement and its effects on student achievement and development.

Abstract
This paper examines how the extent of parents' involvement in their children's lives can have a profound effect on their children's development. It looks at how, left entirely to his or her own devices, a child is prey to a wide range of malevolent influences and how, if this pattern of behavior is not stemmed early on, it may well become irreversible. It demonstrates how a proper education is probably one of the few accomplishments that can counteract the creeping development of these antisocial behaviors and how parents must become involved in their children's lives in order to insure that their children become fully-functioning, moral, and ethical adults, who contribute to and sustain the world in which they live. This argument is illustrated by using a hypothetical case of a troubled youth called John.

From the Paper
"A poor family relationship can have a deleterious effect on the development of the growing child. Sisters and brothers might fight with each other, argue and make fun of one another, and do other things that might be considered destructive to the development of a positive self-image. Similarly, neglectful or abusive parents can have a strongly negative effect on the child socialization and self-esteem. In the most serious of cases, the child might develop lifelong mental and emotional problems, or even dangerously antisocial or criminal characteristics."

Parental Involvement in Children's Education, 2002.

Abstract
The paper shows that many parents today seem to have lost their ability to support the education of their children. It shows how many claim they lack the time, interest, and/or financial resources to get involved, but teachers can be trained to reverse this trend and encourage parental involvement.
From the Paper
"Schools need desperately to implement programs for parents that teach them how to get more involved in their child's education. Research has unmistakably shown that student achievement improves as parental involvement increases (Kelly, 1994). By training teachers how to encourage parents to more actively participate in their children's education, we are taking the first step towards creating a more positive attitude towards learning that could ultimately help teachers achieve their goals of providing a top quality education without unnecessary distractions such as excessive discipline."

Early Childhood Special Education and Parental Involvement, 2007.
This paper discusses the need for parents to be trained to work with their autistic children.

Abstract
The paper discusses an article from the Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions that shows how there are very few public schools who include parent training as part of their early childhood special education (ECSE) curriculum. The authors recommend that future empirical studies are needed to determine both the short-term and long-term effects of adding such a program to ECSE curricula for autistic children. The paper asserts that this suggestion is appropriate and it should be carried through, to make sure there is a long-term upside to getting parents involved at such an intense and personal level. If there is a well-publicized long-term benefit, future parents and teachers will be more willing to participate.

From the Paper
"The family itself benefits when parents are deeply involved in their autistic children's care and maintenance, because knowing what to do with the child puts less stress on the family, and as a result parents have more optimism, more free time, and are encouraged to continue working with their child.
"But, first, special education teachers must be "provided with explicit instruction" as to which strategies to teach parents, which coaching skills are most beneficial, and how to work with families, the article points out."

Abstract
This paper presents the views of two educators who stress the importance of parental involvement in the educational system. It explains that the extra "heads, hands, and hearts" of the parents are what make a difference to a successful school or not.
From the Paper
"But above all, says Leslie Shalaway, to engouage a sustained involvement, "don't have volunteers work directly with children until you give them a crash course in classroom management. Parents need to know what to do if children get disruptive, if conflicts arise between kids, and so on. Also, make clear that you're there to step in if a situation comes up that the volunteer does not feel comfortable handling." A parent is not a replacement for an educator, rather having parents serve in key and close capacities in classroom management integrates parents in their parental function in a positive fashion into the school system. Discipline need not be a negative, rather it should be a positive, and it can be if it is critically integrated with the learning process, as well as the disciplinary process. More involved parents produce better scholars, and no classroom can funciton without proper discipline. Having parents become actively involved in classroom management creates more motivated students in more motivated classrooms."

Abstract
This paper is based on the idea that parental involvement with their children's education should not stop when the children enter school. Nor should parents decide at that point that the task of educating their children should be left entirely up to teachers-on the grounds that they are the professionals after all who are getting paid to do it.

Abstract
This paper explains that the more positive a parent's view of participation in a child's education, the more likely that the child will have a balanced and positive self-conception. The author points out that parents of low-income black and Hispanic families are not well-represented among parents participating within their children's school because of commonly perceived barriers, such as language skills and social and cultural diversities. The paper stresses the importance of parent involvement during the middle-school years, since their children are facing new issues, and the guidance provided by actively involved parents is priceless to the middle-school student.

Conclusion
From the Paper
""Parental involvement" or "parental participation" can be defined by many terms due to the fact that there are so many various avenues through which a parent can become active and maintain a vital role in the student's education. The educational system within the global society as well as the "No Child Left Behind Act' (NCLBA) has determined a protocol that is inclusive of parents, teachers, schools, city councils, communities and others in civic organizations work in conjunction to enhance the quality and effectiveness of education."

Abstract
An examination of the pros and cons of parental involvement in the elementary school system, looking at how parents can help their children by becoming involved, while supporting the school and the community. The author shows how parental involvement is a controversial issue. Although findings show that parental involvement in the child's educational activities can be a positive and helpful experience, involvement can also be detrimental, and too personal or emotional involvement may actually hinder the educational process.
From the Paper
"Parental involvement in the elementary school system is not a new idea. When fewer women worked outside the home, it was more common for mothers to spend time volunteering in their child's classroom, or help them with homework after school. Today, many educators and experts feel that parental involvement, especially in the elementary grades, can be beneficial for the children and the teachers, but too much of a good thing can also be detrimental to the classroom. Studies have also shown that parental involvement today is often based on the income level of the family, as lower income level parents are less likely to volunteer in the classroom, or become as involved in their child's education."

Abstract
Parental involvement is a key factor for the success of any elementary school curriculum. Elementary school aged children are at a point of development in which they put a high value on the validation of their parents. This is true regardless of the students' economic or ethnic background. The paper shows that the more a child's parents are involved in his or her education, the more that child will see how important it is make education a high priority.
From the Paper
"In order to make the parental involvement program more manageable, it is important to identify smaller objectives in order to reach the ultimate goal. One objective that is extremely important to any parental involvement program is to build a foundation of trust and respect between the school and parents. This objective is essential because parents that feel comfortable at a school are much more likely to participate in their child's school. This would include taking into consideration the parent's cultural values."

"Introduction
There is an old saying: "It takes a village to raise a child". In today's society of multiple marriages, relationships, step- and half-families, family reunions can indeed look like a village. Yet, in these families, as well as in other, smaller, nuclear families, or in single parent families, the most important aspect is whether or not the parents are involved in the development of their child.
Contrary to recent articles and books by Judith R. Harris indicating otherwise, because of their dependency on the adults in their lives, children will always be effected by their parents (Azar, 2000). After all, "parents are a child's first and most important teachers" (Fuentes, Cantu, & Stechuk, 1996, p. 16). The question is, however, how will they be effected and to what degree. For this reason ..."

"The purpose for writing this paper was to scrutinize recent research on the significance of parental involvement in education among low income minority students. Another purpose was to see whether or not minority parents' participation in schools would enhance student test scores and other school related activities. Parents involved in workshops designed to teach homework tips for reading and math had students with greater academic achievement. In addition, it was important to find out if parental involvement negated language differences, cultural differences, and other caste barriers of minority students. In order to do this the researcher needed to study several individuals in a particular and chosen school district including parents, students, and teachers.
Reviewing the literature for this issue was also important because the information contained in the literature review provided a great deal of insight into what had been done in the past. This past information is vital for a complete understanding of what has been going on in the academic world when it comes to whether the involvement of the parents has anything to do with the way that children perform on tests and the kinds of grades that these children receive. Not all school districts may find that having parental involvement makes any kind of significant difference in how well their children perform, but since it seems logical that this would be the case, further studies are clearly needed to examine this issue more closely."

Parental Involvement and Abortion Rates, 2003.
A look at the relationship between parental involvement laws and abortion rates.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores whether policy endogeneity partially explains the negative relationship generally reported between parental involvement laws and abortion rates, since parental involvement laws are found to be negatively related to both teen and adult abortion rates. Since parental involvement laws may be more likely to be passed in jurisdictions with a higher level of anti-abortion sentiment, both the laws and anti-abortion sentiment may be responsible for lower abortion rates. To explore this possible interrelatedness, a religiosity-level variable was used as a proxy for anti-abortion sentiment, since anti-abortion sentiment might affect abortion rates directly and indirectly through the greater likelihood of the enactment of parental involvement laws.
From the Paper
"The relationship of parental involvement laws and religiosity level to abortion rates was analyzed for teens and adults; regressions were estimated for four age groups: 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, and 30-34 years old. Residence county-level 1995 abortion rates were regressed against parental involvement laws and religiosity levels as well as several control county-level variables--restrictive public funding, unemployment rate, population density, percent of college graduates, extent of poverty, percent of married-couple families, and geographic region. The sample consisted of the 1,008 counties from the 17 states that reported abortion numbers by county and by age group."

From the Paper
"As educationalists search for ways to improve the modern educational system and to eradicate the problems in it, it is indispensable for them to investigate the causality of these problems and system's shortcomings. It is apparent that the drawbacks do not come into being completely from academics. As a result, it is obvious that a dynamic involvement of parents in the education of their children is a requisite.
In order for student to achieve success academically, a relationship based on respect and mutual understanding between students, teachers, and parents is of the essence. Loopholes at any place in this relationship cause the academic achievements of a student to collapse into failures. However, an intimate and reinforced closeness can sustain immeasurable potential in student's academic success (Brandt, Ronald S. (ED))."
