Increased and enhanced parental involvement in the schools will help lower the achievement gap by making the parents more knowledgeable of what is going on in their child's school and classroom, making the parents feel good about what is happening in the school, and improving parental support of the child's efforts and the school's efforts. Heightened parental interest and involvement in school enhances the child's views of the value of education and the importance of academic success.They conclude,
These recommendations are clearly in place in most private and charter schools, and parent involvement goes without saying in home schooling.(Alamance-Burlington School System web page, accessed 03/16/08)
