Synopsis

Research shows that children whose parents/significant adults are involved in their school and education are more academically successful than children whose parents are not involved. Of course, work schedules, language and cultural barriers, and family commitments can get in the way of parental involvement. Fathers, in particular, are often not involved in their children's schools. Burwell's book addresses ways to get fathers involved in their young children's education and school.
