Reluctance of Parents to Visit the School
Role of Parents in Children's Education
Education has always been a very important part of human existence and has been an inseparable part of human civilization. There has been a lot of development on the education portal and mankind has learned great deal from the education function (Jeynes, 2005). Every milestone which is achieved and every development which is made in any direction is due to the knowledge provided through education. This function has been researched and is very much detailed in terms of style and method. Several researchers and experts have proposed and devised methods which can make education and knowledge imparting more effective and efficient (Hill & Tyson, 2009). Talking about a student at elementary level, it is all the more important to understand the needs of such young individuals and analyze the education function accordingly (Tschannen-Moran and Hoy, 2007). This paper discusses certain aspects of education which are associated with a child's education and particularly studies the role of parents and caretakers in a student's education, and how this participation by parents affects performance of student (Houtenville and Conway, 2007).
Background
There have been many discussions in the direction of elementary education and this has made this whole function very intricate (Aronson, 2012). In early years of its introduction in societal existence, the function of providing knowledge was very basic and simple (Jeynes, 2005). The major aim was to provide knowledge through reading and writing, and there was limited stress laid on the examination and testing part, if so, it was very basic itself. Slowly and steadily, as more and more individuals started becoming aware and more people opted for literacy, the education function became competitive by the passing day and more participation brought in more intensity (Hill & Tyson, 2009). Throughout the last century, there has been a lot of development on the education portal, and this has made the whole function very competitive for every student, and what is more intense is the examination part (Tschannen-Moran and Hoy, 2007).
It carries a detailed pattern of answering and marking, which makes it very difficult for every aspirant, very difficult to overcome and excel it. This whole development brought forth one aspect of this system, and this aspect has been the level of expertise and excellence a person reaches or achieves through this system (Houtenville and Conway, 2007).
Modern education does not simply aims at mere transfer of information, but in fact is much more vivid and detailed than that. It introduces a student to variety of avenues and aims at a more explicit development of a person, stressing on aptitude and personality function. In this function, the role of peers and individuals is often discussed and brought under scanner, which is considered as very vital and decisive for a student (Karen, 2003).
Problem Statement
Researchers and experts in the education function have often given out certain figures which indicate a certain development in the function of knowledge imparting, which is associated with parents and guardians. In these researches, numbers indicate, that parents, who participate in their respective children's education and take interest in knowing the progress of their ward, put a positive impact of the academic performance of their ward (Rosenthal & Sawyers, 2006). It is evident, that when parents discuss certain aspects of their studies and education, the student performs well and excels in many cases (Jeynes, 2005).
There are certain psychological aspects associated with this function, which provide a positive mental conditioning to the ward, and there is a positive advancement made in terms of educational participation. Now, there is a certain critical element associated with this topic, and it is rather unknown as to, till what extent is this statement effective and true (Aronson, 2012). This can only be analyzed by conducting a detailed study and research in this direction, which can establish the effectiveness and solidarity of this statement (Hill & Tyson, 2009).
This problem statement implies towards a critical examination, and detailed evaluation of this problem in order to establish whether the aspect brought forth is true or not. Whether parents actually affect their wards in terms of educational and academic performance? Whether it is true that when parents discuss matters related to educational courses with their children, it actually impacts them psychologically and motivated them to perform better? These questions can only be solved, if there is a detailed evaluation of studies and researches done in this direction, and only then certain conclusions can be drawn and established (Tschannen-Moran and Hoy, 2007).
