Ten Reasons Why You Must Be Involved In Your Child’s Education.

You know that your child needs your support if he or she is going to succeed in school – but do you really know why you are so important?

Here – in reverse order- are the ten most important reasons why your child needs your support.

#10. Schools can’t do it all – I was a teacher and I know!

#9.  You make the difference between a child who is eager and 
ready to learn and one who struggles

and hates learning.

#8.  The research shows that 80% of your child’s success in school depends on you and how you help

your child learn.

#7.  You have a special relationship with your child and a special 
role to play in helping your child

succeed in school, a role that 
only you can fulfill.

#6.  You know your child better than anyone else.  You are often 
the first person to know when your

child needs extra help.  Trust your instincts!

#5.  You need to be an advocate for your child and make sure 
that your child the education he or she

needs and deserves.

#4.  You are the bridge between home and school.  You need to 
know what your child is learning and

the teacher needs to know 
about homework issues.

#3.  If children are going to reach their full learning potential 
children they need support from both a

caring teacher AND a 
loving parent.

#2.  Your child needs to know that you care about his education.  
Parental expectations are one of the

main ways to guarantee a 
child’s success in school.
#1. And the most important reason you should be involved in your child’s education is to ensure that your child LEARNS HOW TO LEARN.  If your child does not know this he or she will struggle to learn and will never get the grades they deserve of the life they want.
