107. SE VOCÊ FOR A NUTTER, SUAS CRIANÇAS SERÃO NUTTERS?

107.

ESTE ARTIGO PUBLICADO HÁ POUCO PELA BBC SIGNIFICA QUE SE VOCÊ FOR UMA CABEÇA OCA, AS CABECINHAS DAS SUAS CRIANÇAS OCAS SERÃO?

ISTO É O QUE A FOLHINHA NÃO CONSEGUIU APURAR NESTE ARTIGO. NO ENTANTO, A FOLHINHA REENVIA A ESTIMADA E O ESTIMADO LEITOR PARA O NOSSO ARTIGO NÚMERO 44  SOBRE RECEITAS PARA O SUCESSO ESCOLAR DAS SUAS E DOS SEUS FILHOS.  

INFELIZMENTE, A FOLHINHA DESTINA-SE MAIS A  MUITAS PESSOAS QUE NUNCA LERAM A FOLHINHA NEM NUNCA DELA OUVIRAM FALAR: GENTE QUE ANDA NO MUNDO POR VER ANDAR, DEFINITIVAMENTE VIVENDO NUM MUNDINHO. 

A FOLHINA JÁ TEM ENCONTRADO PAIS QUE NEM SEQUER SABEM EM QUE ANO ESCOLAR AS SUAS CRIANÇAS ANDAM. TALVEZ NEM SAIBAM SE DE FATO VÃO MESMO À ESCOLA OU SE ELAS ANDAM PRA AÍ PLAYING TRUANT  NOS SHOPPING CENTRES. 

NO OPINIÃO DA FOLHINHA, O FATO DE OS PAIS IGNORAREM TOTALMENTE  A POSIÇÃO ESCOLAR DOS FILHOS, ISSO  É UMA PROVA DE ABANDONO E DE NEGLIGÊNCIA GRAVE: MOTIVOS SUFICIENTES PARA ESSAS CRIANÇAS SEREM IMEDIATAMENTE RETIRADAS AOS PAIS E COLOCADAS EM FOSTER CARERS (FAMÍLIAS DE ACOLHO PAGAS PELO GOVERNO LOCAL). 

A RAZÃO DISTO DEVE-SE AO FATO DE OS PAIS TEREM ESTA OBRIGAÇÃO DE ASSEGURAR O DESENVOLVIMENTO DOS FILHOS. EXISTE NAS CRIANÇAS O DESENVOLVIMENTO FÍSICO, O QUAL SE DEVE À ALIMENTAÇÃO DA BARRIGUINHA E AOS SALTOS NA RUA E PARQUES, E EXISTE TAMBÉM O DESENVOLVIMENTO PESSOAL, O QUAL ENTRA PELA CABECINHA.  AS DUAS COMPONENTES SÃO NECESSÁRIAS.  



'Pushy parents' help 

children make the 

grade at school

Parents who push their children to work hard at school have a bigger impact on their child's academic success than their teachers, research suggests.

The effort a parent puts into ensuring their child buckles down to schoolwork has a greater impact than that put in by the child or the school, it says.

Researchers at Leicester and Leeds universities found parents put less effort in the more children they had.

They looked at how much they read to a child and attended school meetings.

And also at teachers' perceptions of their involvement.

The academics used data from the National Child Development Study for pupils born in 1958.

And to judge how much was down to parental influences and how much was down to pupils being self-starting individuals, the researchers also studied the children's attitudes, such as whether, at the age of 16, they thought school was a waste of time.

Family background


Schools were assessed on how they tried to involve parents, what disciplinary methods they used and and whether 16-year-olds were offered careers advice.

The findings suggest that there is something of a perfect circle. Parents encourage their children to make more of an effort, and then when their child tries harder, the parents put in even more effort.

The background of a family affects the schools' effort, the study found.

Professor Gianni De Fraja, head of economics at Leicester University, said: "The main channel through which parental socio-economic background affects achievement is via effort.

"Parents from a more advantaged environment exert more effort, and this influences positively the educational attainment of their children.

"The parents' background also increases the school's effort, which increases the school achievement. 

Why schools work harder where parents are from a more privileged background we do not know. It might be because middle class parents are more vocal in demanding that the school works hard."

The researchers found children were more likely to put more effort into their schooling if their parents showed that commitment too.

Professor De Fraja added: "We found that children work harder whose parents put more effort into their education."

Big families


The report says parents put less effort into their children's education the more offspring they have.

"There is a trade-off between quantity and quality of children: 

a child's number of siblings influences negatively the effort exerted by that child's parents toward that child's education," it says.

The researchers suggest policies aimed at improving parental effort - such as parenting classes - might help to boost children's achievements.

The research is published in the latest issue of Review of Economics and Statistics.
