Education


            
             There are an endless amount of factors that play a role in an education. One of the most common problems in education today is the lack of motivation by the students. A successful or ideal education comes from more than just the textbooks. Parents should be concerned. Teachers should be devoted. Students must be willing.
             Parents impact their children from day one. They watch and learn everyday skills such as walking, talking, eating, and so on from the time they are born. In an article called "parent involvement in schools" the author says:.
             .
             "Parent support should begin well before a child enters kindergarten and continue all the way through until graduation. It involves reading books to your pre-schooler, making sure elementary children have a reasonable and consistent bedtime, limiting your middle school student's time in front of the TV or computer, and checking out who your high school student is hanging out with. Parents do need to be more involved in their child's schools, but in order to become truly involved in their child's education, they need to become involved in their child's complete development (at home, socially, and academically)." (Penasee Globe Newspaper, A9).
             Parents don't often realize how much their children need them but sometimes parents are too involved. Harris Cooper, a professor of psychology at Duke University in Durham, N.C., said, "problems with homework inevitably start because parents aren't told what their role should be. Most often they are participating too much." (Cooper, 13). So where do parents draw the line for being not involved enough or too involved? Kamesha Lewis writes: .
             "To achieve perfection in the educational system, parents have to take an active role in that education. Parents who don't include themselves in their children's education aren't always informed about the student's progress, aren't aware of the current curriculum, and don't have any idea of the student's strengths and weaknesses in school.
