Its the parents fault if they dont stress education. But my definition of parental support is when the parents take an active role in their child's education. For example meeting with their teachers, going to pta meetings, reinforcing what they are learning in school by going to museums, art galleries, enrolling their child extra curricular activities. A lot of this stuff requires a good amount of money, which a lot of families in my middle schol didnt have. Just a lil example my mom is sending my sister to this specialyt camp at george washingotn university for 700 bucks a week! i think thats a lot of money.
