My mom was a very passionate teacher who cherished every moment in the classroom...but she was a teacher at home. Learning was valued and important. Both parents, who graduated from college, encouraged us to be our best whether in the classroom, or on the court, or in extracurricular events. We also were encouraged to live our dream. All three of us (my 2 siblings and I) all went to college. But I was the only one who completed my 4 year education. The other 2 are very successful and are "their best" in what they do. My mom was TOTALLY delighted that I became a teacher and wanted me to have the joy she had.

and I was expected to do my best. She was the first in her family to go to college, and I knew that after my mom graduated, my Grandma got her GED because she needed to drop out and help support her family at 16.

My parents were actively involved and cared about my education 1-12. Growing up as a "teacher's kid" I saw first hand how my dad dedicated time to his students and school. My mom stayed home with us during our elementary years and helped us with homework. My dad advocated for me in high school when my track coach, also a teacher, was attempting to treat me differently because I was a teacher's kid. College was definitely the expectation!

I grew up in a single parent family home. My mom was the soul bread of my family. She made all attempts to ensure that I had all the necessary resources to go to school. However, she was not involved in the physical school life as I would want her to for example: PTA conferences. My aunt whom I lived with stressed the importance of education as it is indeed the only tool to make me a successful individual.

Yes! I was overwhelmingly supported by my parents throughout my time in public schools. They were there every night to help with homework and attended all events that they could. My mother in particular was always and excited to get each school year started and to go to open house.

My parents cared about my education and they lacked the tools and know how to support me at home.  They were great at attending events and the events were based on community events (not curriculum nights).  Often because of their work and roles as care givers to extended family their time was cut short in the evenings when homework was completed.

My family always stressed the importance of learning and I grew up with the expectation that I would attend college. All learning, projects, and homework was supported at home however independence was encouraged. Good grades were supported quarterly with trips to the movies and tokens at our favorite arcade. That being said, my Mom was a working professional and only advocated for my brother and I when there was a crisis so she was rarely seen inside the school.

# data[].attributes.headline
On the surface, my family was supportive. However, at home, it was a different story. No one cared if I completed homework. I don't remember my family attending conferences or meetings after elementary school. My Dad was a young parent, and he did not graduate high school; my mom was absent, but she did not graduate high school either. When I decided to go to college, they were NOT supportive. I am the first person in my family to graduate college.

My mom was a single parent with four kids. Education was valued and made a priority. Although she was limited in time to volunteer due to working outside of the home, she stayed in constant communication with school teachers and always followed through. I was a first generation to attend college. School staff always clearly communicated with my family(mom, grandparents) and vice versa. They reached out in so many ways to help our family with resources, support, etc. when needed.

my mom was a single parent and worked full time.  She was unable to come in to school and volunteer.  But I always wished she could be a room parent or go on a field trip.  She did go to my activities at night.  She did the best she could!

My mom is a single parent and was really involved in my education. She attended open house, took me to school each day for the first week, attended conferences. She advocated for me in 3rd grade when my teacher tried to stereotype me and send me to "reading lab". By the time I was in 8th grade my mom had her own daycare center, which connected her to the community. According to my mom education is something no one can take away from you.

I always knew that education was important, but my family was not involved in my education at all (exception-dropping me off at school).  However, if I did not 'do well' I would get in trouble.

I went to an elementary school with electives and my mom came in a couple times a week to teach an elective about bones. Kids loved it and I felt so proud to have my mother teaching kids! My parents also volunteered in after school activities. I loved having both parents involved within the school community.

My parents were not really involved in my school day.  They supported me in after school activities and if I needed help with homework.  But neither parent volunteered in the school.  It was expected that I do well in school and eventually go to college.

Yes, my mother was very involved in my education. She was always my "classroom mom" and was constantly in school with me. She even trusted the teachers enough to have me repeat a grade when they believed it was necessary. Both my parents always supported my interests in school and volunteered when possible.

My parents cared about my education, but were never the parents "in" the room or at school.  It was rare for them to eat lunch with me or to volunteer to send something to school.  Nights were stressful when my parents had to "send" something in or help me complete something.  My parents always came to evening performances / awards ceremonies, but not during the day.
