the key is the parents (Score 1)

For a child there is only one important thing any child needs for school or a happy life, both as a child and an adult. Parents who are involued in their child(rens) lives. All any child wants to know if they are important to their parents. Do the parents use machines or sitters to keep the kids out of the way? Or is the home a place of love and acceptence for the child? If your child knows they are loved and needed and not a burden to them, the child should be able to do well in school. Maybe not a stellar student, but at least above average. With love and happiness in the home, all is possible.
