ALL OF THE education research tells us that when parents and families are active participants in a student’s education, the attainment and outcomes are better.

Some of these non-academic surveys ask very personal questions, so it only makes sense that parents should be asked for permission before children are asked about sensitive and personal topics regarding themselves and their families.
