PARENTS CAN LEAD THEIR CHILDREN TO AND THROUGH COLLEGE
|
Posted By: Hija Chang on October 04, 2016 Who are the most important people in determining whether children will go to and through college? Teachers? Principals? Guidance counselors? College professors? The fact of the matter is that all of these individuals are important for student success. They all play crucial roles in determining whether students get the opportunity they need to earn the college degree that employers look for when they’re hiring people for the best-paying and fastest-growing jobs and career paths. But a critical, and sometimes unrecognized factor, is parents. At UNCF, the nation’s largest provider of scholarships to students of color, our research and 70-plus years of experience helping students go to college and graduate tells us that parents’ impact on children takes place all day, every day. It starts when they’re born, and it lasts a lifetime. They’ll represent the child at parent-teacher conferences. They will most likely contribute to paying the cost of college, and as our research shows, they support their children in multiple ways, from reviewing their tests scores to helping with homework on a regular basis.
