While parents and teachers share certain perceptions, a clear difference is apparent between parents and teachers in the level of perceived parent involvement in their child’s education. Basically, parents report being more involved than teachers report that parents are involved. Among parents, 96% say they are somewhat or very involved in their child’s education, while 63% of teachers agree. The largest discrepancy is that 58% of parents rate themselves as very involved in the education of their children – a view shared by only 7% of teachers. This suggests an area where parents and teachers might benefit from clearer communication on what involvement looks like to each group.
