the long, uninterrupted string of research continues. This must make it 47 for 47 or something, as a pair of University of New Hampshire economists unveil their findings from a big study: parent involvement in education works.
Besides the usual findings (that are of no suprise to regular readers of this space), the UNH researchers added an interesting twist. Turns out that: 1) parent education works (to the equivalent of $1,000 of value for the school system per year); and 2) as school resources/budgets go up, parent involvement tends to lessen (my guess: parents feel that the school has things handled)... meaning that spending that extra $1000 per student may mean losing some of that $1000 in parent-value. Interesting.
I'm sure will find other reactions re: this study. Will keep you linked in. Would love your thoughts, too.
