Parenting and its Effects on Academic Success
The idea and act of parent involvement has been a much discussed topic by parents, and teachers. The question which arises; is parent involvement more than just a confidence booster for a child or is it also a key for scholarly success?

To go even deeper we need to define what parent involvement means. It isn’t just a parent asking their child if they’ve done their homework but rather a parent actively participating in meaningful communication involving the students strengths and weaknesses in school. Also, sitting down with their child helping them understand their homework, encouraging when needed, challenging them, quizzing them and showing unconditional support are the bases of parental involvement.
On the parents plate, there are three types of involvement points; one, involvement at home, two, involvement at school, and lastly, communication between home and school. Communication is a vital component in a parent's relationship with their child, through communicating with the child one builds a strong home-school relationship which produces an ongoing productive and trusting relationship between child and parent thus increasing the possibility of the child to succeed in school. Through this one key, communication, all three involvement points are met.

There were many students who we, as a group,
