Environmental Effects on Educational Performance.
Thompson, W. Warren
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v31 n1 p11-25 Mar 1985

Home influences of parent behavior, home literacy, and educational ambition were more important predictors of intelligence and reading/math attainment than were school and neighborhood variables.
