As most children like to have more quality time with their parents, we’re not always aware of the positive effect it has on our lives. During the 1960’s American parents spent less time on child care compared by the mid-1990’s. This increase may be the result of the rise in competitiveness of college admissions. Educated parents pay more attention to this preparation time than less educated parents, as well as their rivalry for those admissions gives them a boost to compete. In this case we talk about older children as they get ready to apply for college.
On the one hand research(1) has shown that the more effort parents put on child quality time, the harder children work at school and the better their performance will be. On the other hand their performance is not influenced by their social background. Parents’ effort is more important than the school’s effort and this is more important than the children’s own effort.
Personally I think that parents want the best for their children. They attach importance to their education as they consider it crucial for their future. The more educated parents are, the more they prefer a good education for their children.
