A fascinating discovery I ran across is that one of the best indicators of student performance is parental involvement, a good proxy of which is parent volunteerism.

Now it may or may not be obvious, but if both parents are working a job and a half, they’re not going to be available to volunteer, and probably aren’t going to do much in support at home. There’s a decent (though not critical) correlation between the gradual change to both parents working and the decrease in student performance.

In simple sexism, when Mom had to start working so the family could pay the bills, Johnny quit learning as well at school.

Upding, but redeem yourself with the notion that the critical stay-at-home could be dad.
