Examined the relationship between parental involvement in their children's schooling
and children's motivation and academic achievement. Subjects were of 300 11- to
14-year-olds. Data from parent, student, and teacher evaluations suggest that
parental involvement manifests itself in many ways. Children who are confident
in school may actually push parents to become actively involved in school. (MDM)
