the failure of a student in English between high school students is not
due to gender, age, religion, age or anything, but because these failures
occur because of other factors such as 'parents of students' in terms
of work and their socio-economic background. Therefore, it is very
important for all parents to help their environment by providing
learning materials, time and other resources that can help their
children's language skills in learning English. Page 31 Paragraph 9
