Read the following passage. then answer the questions: (5 marks)
Evidence supports the importance of family participation in the achievement
of the children. Getting parents and other significant adults involved in school
activities improves young people’s attitudes towards school and contributes to their
overall school success. Involved parents have children with more positive attitudes
towards school and higher aspirations for the future.
Family involvement tends to decrease as children get older. For the most
part, parents of elementary-age children control the environment and resources
available to their children and have a great influence on them through the decisions
and choices they make. Families continue to influence young people even as they
begin to exercise their own independence in middle and high school, although this
influence is not that obvious or direct. The changing relationship between families
and their older children requires adjustments in expectations throughout the school
years as students take on more responsibility for decision making.
