Parents impact their children from day one. They watch and learn everyday skills such as walking, talking, eating, and so on from the time they are born. In an article called “parent involvement in schools” the author says:

“Parent support should begin well before a child enters kindergarten and continue all the way through until graduation. It involves reading books to your pre-schooler, making sure elementary children have a reasonable and consistent bedtime, limiting your middle school student's time in front of the TV or computer, and checking out who your high school student is hanging out with.

The final "ingredient" necessary to creating an ideal education is the student. Students need to be inquisitive, enthusiastic, and eager to learn in the classroom. Students who like and feel comfortable with the education they are receiving are more interested in going to school regularly and in continuing their education after graduating from high school. College students don’t always have the motivation or preperation that is required for college. In an interview in the book, “America Goes to College” a school director says how serious class work is:

“According to a handout students received at the program, national averages show that 50 percent of college students do not finish in five years or less. Last year, interviews of about 250,000 American college freshmen showed that 3 percent attended college because there was
