Parents can play a vital role in helping teens succeed in school by being informed and lending a little support and guidance. Even though teens are seeking independence.

Everychild has the capacity to succeed in school and in life. Yet far too many children,especially those from poor and minority families, are placed at risk by school practices that are based on a sorting paradigm in which some students receive high-expectations instruction while the rest are relegatedto lower quality education and lower quality futures. The sorting perspective must bereplacedby a “talent development” model that asserts that all children are capable of succeeding ina rich and demanding curriculum with appropriate assistance and support.

Therole of parents in managing children’s educational experiences at home and at school has long been considered critical for children’s success in school. However, it is only recently thatresearchers have begun systematic and extensive investigations of parental involvement beyond the early years of schooling. Recent research has investigated parents’ involvement in students’ education during the middle grades.

Although most parents expected their child to continue his/her education after high school,only a few had started saving by the eighth grade. It seems that parents expect to save most for college during their child’s high school years. By the twelfth grade, most parents had discussions with their children about post secondary schools. Parents indicated that in choosing a post secondary school, teens consider academic issues and curricula more than school track records for careerplacement.

Most parents have some knowledge about financial aid and expect to finance their teen’s further education through grants and scholarships. About one-half of the parents had already applie dfor such programs a few months before their teen’s high school graduation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”2″ animate=”w-animate” align_center=”aligncenter” blox_bgcolor=”#ffffff”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1466945675368{margin-top: -7px !important;padding-top: 4px !important;}”][distance type=”2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”appear” css=”.vc_custom_1467115106943{margin-top: 29px !important;}”]
