that single parenting is a
social cancer in Amamoma

and its leads to poor
academic performance.
Based on the findings, the
researchers recommended
that parents should be
educated on the effects of
single parenting on their

involvement in special

the amount of time spent out
of the classroom for
behavioral reasons. Other
variables include age at
separation, type of
placement, classification,
number of siblings, or if the
child's home school district
was urban or non-urban.
Each city of the urban
districts examined was also
analyzed. Statistical tests
were performed to establish
correlation between these
variables and GPA scores.
The subjects were seventy
special education students,
aged ten through eighteen,
who attend a private school in
New Jersey. Data was
collected from school records
to determine if any significant
relation exists between the
variables. The results suggest
the presence of biological
parents or relatives in special
education students' lives
enhance academic success.
The results also suggest that
those special education
students separated for longer
amounts of time show less
academic success than those
students who have lived
continuously with one
biological parent or relative
throughout their lives.

an excessive number of
events in a particular
period of time can lead to
stress. Students respond to
stress in different ways,
physically, mentally,
emotionally and
behaviorally. Students
manifest mental symptoms
such as increased
irritability, inability to
concentrate, forgetfulness
and so on. The emotional
symptoms are like fussy,
anxious feeling of
hopelessness, guilty and
insecurity. One may
experience personal

confidence and feel the
inability to enjoy things.

cognitive ability predicts
academic achievement, and
that parental involvement and
expectations form part of the
constellation of factors that
predict their children’s
academic achievement,
particularly for families
within the Chinese-heritage
Cultures. Although a number
of interactions between these
parental factors have been
proposed, the mediation
effects of parental
expectations on their
children’s cognitive ability in
predicting academic
achievement are yet to be
established. Data from 780
students from one primary
school in Hong Kong and
their parents were used to
generate structural equation
models to test the hypothesis
that parental affective factors,
as indicated by parental home
and school involvement,
parental beliefs of their
children’s ability and parental
expectations of their
children’s academic scores,
mediate the effects of student
IQ score in predicting school
achievement in English,
Chinese and Mathematics.
The results support the
hypothesis that parents help
their children to actualize
their cognitive ability by
directly communicating their
academic expectations to their
children.
