Parental Engagement That Makes a Difference.
Finn, Jeremy D.
Educational Leadership, v55 n8 p20-24 May 1998

Research has not consistently linked parents' in-school engagement and student achievement. Teachers may pay more attention to students with actively participating parents. (28 references) (MLH)
