Abstract
This research examines the role that parents can play in their children's response to the phenomenon of drug use and to the drug culture more generally. The research sets forth the context in which drugs-related issues have achieved prominence in recent years and then discusses why parents should talk to their children about drug use and abuse.
From the Paper
"Any parent who has tried to make sense of the many research studies of recent years that explain or quantify the problem of drug use among young people could be forgiven for being a little confused. In 1997 it was reported that "most" teenagers will, at minimum, "experiment" with alcohol and drugs and that parents should be alert to several specific warning signs to head off the problem. In early 1999, the advocacy group Partnership for a Drug-Free America (Do your children, 1999, p. 5) reported a survey of some 9,700 teenagers and their parents in which 44 percent of the former admitted trying marijuana while only 21 percent of the latter thought their kids might have tried it--implying a communication disconnect between the generations. A survey of 50,000 high school students conducted at the University of Michigan in 1998 and reported in 1999 found that five percent of seniors admitted using cocaine in the previous year, though that figure is 12 percent lower than the all time high of 1985 (Farrington, 1999). In August 1999 the Los Angeles Times was reporting another survey showing a drop in teenage drug use (Balz, 1999)."

From the Paper
"As the primary social institution for most developing children, schools can have a significant impact on adolescent health behavior and can play an essential role in adolescent health promotion. Schools serve all children regardless of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or health insurance status; thus, they are a logical place to provide coordinated health education and health services to a nation's children (DHHS, 1991, p. 434). A successful drug education program requires intense, interactive skills training to provide students with the long-term ability to resist using drugs. A mandatory drug education week with curriculum-specified follow-up throughout the school year is the only effective means of educating students fully on the consequences of drug use and the skills necessary to avoid such consequences successfully."

Abstract
In this paper the author looks at the pros and cons of the " Drug Abuse Resistance Education" program known as DARE. The author takes an in-depth look at how the program is educating children and youth so that they can say no to drugs and alcohol. But, in adopting this stance the author points out that by educating people they can say no ,they are also able to say yes. The paper also looks at the focus on hard drugs and highlights that soft drugs such as alcohol and nicotine are not included in the program. Finally the paper concludes that DARE needs to address the long-term as well as the short-term in order to combat drugs effectively.

From the Paper
"To a lot of people, D.A.R.E. stands for the strongest pledge that America, as a nation can make to restrain and control drug abuse by juveniles and students, as well as, that it justifies to be practiced, even when one recognizes and identifies that it is not working. By consequently misleading America into thinking that the American government is doing something grave and significant on the subject of maintaining kids off drugs, D.A.R.E. is obstructing the nation's pains to discover more effective ways to realize the broader goals of national drug policy, viz., to defend the public health and security, to put off abuse, as well as to get rid of the offenses and aggression connected with unlawful drug trafficking."

Special Education and Parents, 2007.
An analysis of three journal articles discussing the parents' role in their child's special education.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper analyzes three articles pertaining to parental involvement in their child's special education program. The paper examines how there are several reasons why parents choose not to participate, such as denying that their child has mental retardation or because they feel that their input and suggestions are not welcomed by school personnel. The paper concludes that it is the responsibility of the school personnel to listen to the parents and to make any necessary changes so that the parents of the handicapped students can be involved in every aspect of their child's education.
From the Paper
"The main topic that was researched in this article was the lack of involvement on the parents' behalf regarding their children's special education program. The authors assumed that the reason behind the lack of involvement was the parents' fear of becoming readily identified as one with a mentally retarded child. Of the parents who respond to the questionnaire, most were from the middle class, most were two parent families, and most were families with generally higher IQs. Parents from the middle class generally denied that their children had a retardation problem and they felt that their child would eventually outgrow the mental learning problems by the time they were adults."

From the Paper
"Limitations/Future Research: As noted by the authors there is a shift away from family centered care as children grow older. It could not be determined if diminished satisfaction is due to the shifting model, growing parental knowledge or growing frustration as the child ages. Future research could investigate this issue.
"Connection: While my survey will not identify changes over time, a number of questions from this survey could be useful for identifying current satisfaction levels."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Because of disruptive home environments, schools have turned into behavioral management camps, rather than centers of learning. Teachers spend more time disciplining children than educating them (Ryan and Stiller, 1991, p. 133). Therefore, enlisting the support of parents in a partnership with the school and their child has become necessary. The ultimate aim of parent involvement is to nurture the child's ability to become a well-functioning, positively-contributing member of society. The first model of parent involvement began in the 1960s with a program known as Headstart. The program was based on the concept that parents are the child's first and primary teachers. Headstart educated parents in all areas related to being a good parent (Flaxman and Inger, 1992, p. 4). Many schools followed..."

Early Childhood Special Education and Parental Involvement, 2007.
This paper discusses the need for parents to be trained to work with their autistic children.
876 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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
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."
