In this way, researchers can control for the effects of socioeconomic status and better extricate the true relationship between parental involvement and academic achievement (Fan & Chen, 2001).
Though the Smith (2006) study seeks in increase parental involvement in the school, it fails to connect the influence increased parental involvement had on had on the academic achievement of the students. The study would be of greater value had if there had been a pre-assessment and a post assessment to ascertain overall student academic gains.

Overall parental involvement has an effect on the child from the early stage to the secondary stage. Students need the parents for guidance, integrity and confidence to become successful in life because it is not the teachers job to make sure the students have these qualities. "In reality, parent involvement is a more diverse and complex concept than is generally acknowledged" (Dom & Verhoeven, 2006, p.570). The study will help
Specifically the researcher proposes surveying parents and children about their school experiences and participation in the classroom. The researcher suggests surveying three groups of 30 members each consisting of 15 students and 15 parents. Survey questions will be provided in person to students and consist of straightforward questions that assess students views of how increasing parental involvement may affect their attitudes toward school and learning. The study will also examine
Parental Involvement and Its Influence on the Reading Achievement of the 6th Grade Students The article's source was derived from several resources.

The article was peer reviewed and featured in a textbook as well as a magazine publication. The research question was structured as a question and

In an attempt to further examine racial disparity in violent offending, the authors in this case as I have already pointed out in the introductory section also seek
" Through their study of La Familia, the authors present a strategic plan for other Latino families to get organized and help their children succeed later in school and in life. La Familia -- parents of middle school children that had not been performing well in school -- began with small meetings in the homes of parents (conducted entirely in Spanish) and as trust was established among the parents, they
