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
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.

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."

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

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
"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."

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."

From the Paper
"For many years, parents and educators have worked to find the right combination of factors that will encourage and improve the academic success of students. Parents want the best for their students so that they can be successful in their adult life, and educators not only care about the students, but they know they are judged and rewarded based on how their students perform. When students are in the elementary grades the schools have a large amount of parental involvement. Parents come to the school to help with field trips, testing, projects and anything else the school has a need for. Parents are involved in PTO, art lessons and other activities that their students take part in. Parents at this level of education are generally willing to be involved with their children's education. In addition, at home the parents tend to be involved as well. They make time for homework, help the student check it over and remind them to turn it in on time. "

From the Paper
"There is little controversy about the value of parent involvement to the student. Many studies have shown that strong parent involvement in the schools supports student achievement. Henderson (1988) reviewed 49 separate studies dealing with parent involvement and concluded that they were highly beneficial. They tended to insure that students achieved higher grades and test scores, had more positive attitudes and behaviors, and that the schools they operated in were more successful and effective. In their review, Chavkin and Williams (1988) indicated that there were additional benefits of strong parent involvement that Henderson had left out, including improved school attendance, reduced dropout rates, and more parent and community support for the school systems in general. Thus, there is considerable support for the benefit of strong parent involvement programs."

Abstract
This paper discusses parental involvement in schools, noting that parents often express a desire to be part of the process but may not follow up and actually make themselves available to teachers, administrators, counselors, and the children themselves. The values of parental involvement are discussed, as well as the consequences of a lack of such involvement.
From the Paper
"An element that is lacking in much of American education is parental involvement in the schooling of children at every grade level. Parents often express a desire to be part of the process but may not follow up and actually make themselves available to teachers, administrators, counselors, and the children themselves. The importance of parental involvement is noted by Carvalho (2001), who states that there is a great deal of research showing the value of parental involvement at home and at school, seeing such involvement as a remedy for what ails schools today. She also writes, Impediments to parental involvement are reduced to parents' timidity, uneasiness at school, time constraints, and lack of encouragement from teenagers, which can be reversed by school personnel's openness and warmth, and the provision of a range of opportunities for parents. In addition to involvement in traditional fund-raising, help at special classes, sports, bands, academic clubs, and parties, participation is ..."

Parental Involvement and Academic Achievement, 2007.
This paper examines the link between parental involvement in children's schooling and their academic success.

»

Abstract
The paper relates that the level of parental involvement in children's schooling has always been intuitively accepted as being positively associated with academic achievement and high test scores. The paper examines relevant studies and shows how the forms of parental involvement that are most beneficial to the students remain mostly unexplored by most of the current literature. The paper maintains that studies should be conducted isolating precisely what parental habits most strongly correspond with high grades. The paper points out that although the signs are somewhat compelling that parenting style may be more influential than mere parental encouragement, they are not convincing enough to make a definite conclusion.
From the Paper
"An article published by Suet-Ling Pong investigates the variances along the lines of the structure of the household. Pong notes that, "Growing proportions of children in the United States reside with a single biological parent, and there are also more children attending schools where the majority of students are from single-parent families or stepfamilies," (Pong 734). Pong analyzes eighth grade reading and math scores to determine that schools exhibiting a majority of students from single-parent homes statistically score lower on such exams. This trend is found to be true even after the demographic background of the parents is factored in--how far they went in school."

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.

"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."

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."

Abstract
Research has shown that parents who are involved in their children's academic life through all levels of education are more likely to participate in community enrichment, and students with actively engaged parents are more likely to succeed in the world of academia and perform better academically. This paper explores the role that parental involvement plays in student achievement and success within the classroom and without.
From the Paper
"The more parents become involved with their children's academic life and schools the more likely schools will improve, or at least that is valid based on evidence uncovered by Machen, Notar & Wilson (2005). In this groundbreaking study the researchers show that parental involvement is a key component in transforming public schools and encouraging them to conform to higher standards (p. 13). The researchers also notes that engaging parents "in an active role in the school curriculum can open alternative opportunities for children to succeed in academics" (Machen, Notar & Wilson, 13).
"Many researchers have identified a need to engage families and even community members as partners in the academic process (Machen, Notar & Wilson, 2005). A schools success is often linked to community success, and parents can play an important role in improving school sand improving student achievement (Machen, Notar & Wilson, 2005)."

Parental Involvement and School Performance, 2004.
This paper is a research proposal to evaluate the impact of parents' involvement on school performance.

Abstract
This paper is a research proposal designed to show that students perform better in school, both academically and socially, when their parents and/or other caring adults are involved in their lives and that the skills students learn from their parents and school at a young age carry over into their adult lives and affect how they function in society. The author reports that she will use a quantitative method based on report card grades and a parental questionnaire ascertaining the degree of parental involvement. The paper assumes that the analysis will show that, in general, children who perform well in school have more parental involvement overall than children who perform poorly. And this is why programs for these at-risk children, those not supported by their parents, are so badly needed.

"Often, there is not much time for the children after the parent or parents arrive home from work. They are tired, and therefore the homework and other concerns of the child are often neglected or done in haste instead of talked about the done properly. This is doing a great disservice to our youth, as they will be the future of this world, and many of them will be ill prepared for the ?real world? of work, bills, and household duties and responsibilities because of a poor education and poor role models. This can be prevented, but it is not an easy fix, and much work remains to be done."

"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))."
