The role parents play in their children’s academic success






Do you feel as though the sole responsibility of a child’s learning is taken place in the classroom? Do you feel as though the teacher is the only one responsible for ensuring success for that student? If your response is no, then we are on the same page. I believe that students who excel in the classroom have parental support. As Rose, Gallup, and Elam stated " 86% o the general public believes that support from parents is the most important way to improve the schools. (1997)
Starting in early childhood it is the responsibility of the parent to teach a child essential information such as their alphabet, how to write their name and progress to things such as knowing their parents first and last name and even home phone number. The child will be more susceptible to retain information in continuing a pattern of progression. Having that support system and a parent’s willingness to guide a child’s life contributes to a major component of success for that child’s learning.
