Written on October 20, 2003 by David C. Sarnacki

The BBC is carrying an article that reaffirms the importance of parents in their children’s educational performance:

(excerpt)
The government is publishing a study which shows that children aged between three and five make much better progress if their parents help them learn.
The findings support those of a recent survey which said good parenting could make more than a 10% difference to how well children do in school.

The article also links to a government-sponsored website directed at parents.
