Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions (1,25 point).
Why do parents have to get involved in their child’s education? Basically, parents’ involvement in their child’s learning process offers many opportunities for success. According to Centre for Child Well-Being (2010), parental involvement in their children’s learning not only improves a child’s morale, attitude, and academic achievement across all subject areas, but it also promotes better behavior and social adjustment. It further says that family involvement in education helps children to grow up to be productive, responsible members of the society.
Regrettably, there are also some, if not many, parents who are quite passive in their child’s education. Some of them are not directly involved. Neither are they visible in the school premises and get involved in the desired goals of the school where their children are getting what they need most for life.
Several schools, both private and public sectors, have programs designed at intensifying parental participation such as boys and girls scouting, school-community socio-economic projects, disaster volunteer task force, and school-community work brigade. However, increasing parental involvement remains a tough challenge among school administrators and their teachers despite clear programs, concerted efforts, and strong motivations.
