Parental involvement in child\u27s education : Does it help? How can we make it better?

How often and in what ways do my students\u27 parents get involved in their children\u27s education? How important do the parents of my students think it is to get involved in their children\u27s education? How do I find out how and how much my student\u27s parents involve themselves in their children\u27s education? For those parents already involved in their children\u27s education, how do I get these parents to increase their involvement in their children\u27s education? How do I convince the parents who are not involved in their children\u27s education just how important it is? The research discussed in this paper will help to uncover solutions to these questions
