🔑 Overcoming Barriers to Parental Involvement in Education

Politicians and school leaders rely on scientific research to develop policies that promote parental involvement in education. Despite these efforts, consistent involvement from kindergarten through 12th grade poses significant challenges for parents who face economic, physical, or time constraints, especially among working-class and immigrant families.

Barriers for Working-Class Families:

1. Time Constraints: Restrictive work schedules that limit availability for school activities.
2. Physical and Logistical Access: Challenges due to disabilities or inconvenient timing of school events.
3. Financial Resources: Limited financial means to support school-related expenses.
4. Awareness: Lack of information about how to get involved and what resources are available.

**Barriers for Immigrant Families:
1. Resource Access: Difficulty accessing necessary resources to support children’s education.
2. System Unfamiliarity: Lack of understanding of how the school system operates and how to navigate administrative processes such as new student registration.
3. Past Experiences: Negative or traumatic past educational experiences that affect current involvement.
4. Language and Literacy Barriers: Limited English language skills and literacy.
5. Cultural Differences: Diverse views on the role of parents in education.
6. Immigration Policies: Family circumstances affected by immigration policies.
