Parents Essential In Schooling Process
‘Research has shown that the effect of parents and what they do at home to support learning can account for 80% of a child’s academic success. This compares to school being directly responsible for around 20% of factors leading to academic achievement’. ( PTA magazine Summer 07)
The learning triangle is carefully balanced with three equal components, teachers, pupils and parents. When these components work effectively together educational and behavioural standards are raised and outcomes are improved. However, ensuring that the parental side of the triangle is supporting the other two sides can be a challenging task. Educational games, toys and puzzles provide a great starting point.
