Studies also confirm that parental involvement may benefit not only students but also parents and communities. Parents who are more involved in their children's academic life are more likely to report positive perceptions of school and their children's achievements and more likely to participate in community events and activities.
More and more researchers are adapting their views and emphasizing the need for increasing parental involvement at all levels of education. Educators and administrators are also changing their view and realizing that teachers must work in partnership with community members and parents to benefit children in the long-term. Parents in many situations need support and encouragement as well as greater flexibility of scheduling to enable better involvement in their children's academic pursuits.
The research suggests that involvement is advantageous at all levels of the educational process, from the elementary level up through high school and beyond. Parental involvement leads to better achievement, success and relationship within the academic environment, at home and within the community. For this reason it should be continually encouraged and supported in the academic arena.
