The Effect of Parental Over-involvement on Educational Attainment

Parental involvement has been shown to be a very important variable that positively or negatively influences children’s education. Lack of involvement or over-involvement may have a negative impact on student’s performance in and out of the classroom and ultimately affects their educational development and success. This Research was conducted to determine whether or not teacher-initiated, regular communication with parents makes an impact on parent’s over-involvement. The researcher’s goal was to communicate with parents in their native language about school activities. There was a significant improvement in rate of parent’s consciousness about negative effects of over-involvement.
