Parents are the ultimate role models for children. Every word, movement and action has an effect. No other person or outside force has a greater influence on a child than the parent.

Teachers tell me that they'd like to work more closely with parents.

Parents are supposed to instruct their kids. It doesn't mean they necessarily have that gift of teaching.

Of course, parents are the most important people in a child's life.

All the time a person is a child he is both a child and learning to be a parent. After he becomes a parent he becomes predominantly a parent reliving childhood.

The parents have not only to train their children: it is of at least equal importance that they should train themselves.

A child's learning is a function more of the characteristics of his classmates than those of the teacher.

Research shows that children do better in school and are less likely to drop out when fathers are involved. Engaged parents can strengthen communities, mentor and tutor students, and demonstrate through their actions how much they value their children's education.
