What is mom's role in student success?(NEWSWATCH)
A survey of 13, 800 seniors in Texas high schools revealed that students reporting a close relationship with their parents were less likely to attend a four-year college.
But research by Dr. Ruth N. Lopez Turley, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, with grad student Matthew Desmond, found that students with close relationships with their parents had better academic performance:
"A paradox has come to light: Strong family ties, considered vital to a child's success in school, can serve as an impediment to a child's educational attainment." How? The survey of Texan students also found that students with good relationships with their parents had more desire to live at home, so they were 40% less likely to attend four-year colleges than other students.
"Parents who strive to develop an encouraging and communicative relationship with their children might produce a high school honors student but not a four-year college graduate," Turley and Desmond said.
The report prompted comments on The Chronicle of Higher Education's online News Blog on May 8, 2008. Some bloggers took a ...
