The greatest negative, IMHO, is minimal parental education. I've had many students from low to very low socioeconomic status, and with sufficient prompting by parents and teachers, students can succeed. If parents place little or no value on education, however, their children usually reflect that.
but according to my text- it sounds as if low socioeconomic status has the greatest negative impact.
Since low social economic status usually means minimal formal education, the two are closely related. However, it's easier to measure socioeconomic status (approval for free lunches, for instance) so this status is the one most often associated with low achievement in school. In addition, the main topic of your text's paragraph is low socioeconmic status. That indicates to me that B is the preferred answer.
I, too, know of many instances of children from families with low incomes and minimal formal education who were very successful in school. But, sadly, I think that's the exception, not the rule.
so, you think that (B) low socioeconomic status is the preferred answer they are looking for?
Yes. B is the preferred answer.
I had someone to point out to my that my text states "parents with low
educational aspirations for their children and low motivation,which sometimes result from poverty,stress, fatigue,and unfortunate living conditions,are the parents who most need
sensitive professional outreach."
So, this sounds as if (D)minimal parental education could be the correct answer.
I'm confused. H-E-L-P!!
Parental education is the number of years of school they've finished. A parent who never went to school may have high aspirations for their children's education. These parents may take their children to the library, story hours, place them in Head Start -- and do everything else they can to make sure their children succeed in school.
I don't think D is the correct answer.
