According to the Department of Education, the substantial relationship between parent involvement for the school and reading comprehension levels is obvious. Where parent involvement is low, the reading assessment average is 46 points below the national average. Where involvement is high, classrooms score 28 points above the national average - a gap of 74 points. Even after controlling for other attributes of communities, schools, principals, classes, and students, that might confound this relationship, the gap is 44 points. The students in my class fall into the first category. Because of the economic climate, many of my parents have had to take on second jobs which leaves even less time at home to help their child be successful in class. I work at a low income, Title I public school with over 90% of the students receiving free or reduced lunch.
