2. Robert J. Havighurst, educator
Conducted the Growing Up in River City
Study
Documented socioeconomic factors as
PREDICTOR of school success
The HIGHER the student’s economic
status, the GREATER the chance of
academic success.
3. Components that contribute/detract to
school success:
1. SOCIAL STATUS ( Economic Lifestyle )
2. LANGUAGE ABILITIES
3. LEVEL OF PARENTAL EDUCATION ( Attitudes toward
schooling )
4. PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN CHILD’S SCHOOLING
STUDENTS FROM LOW INCOME
AND UNSTABLE FAMILIES
ARE 4-5 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO
BE TARDY OR ABSENT.
4. STUDENTS AT RISK
PROBLEMS ARE MORE COMPREHENSIVE THAN SIMPLY BEING BORN
INTO A LOW INCOME FAMILY WITH POOR PERSONAL SUPPORT
FOR EDUCATION.
