4. Riordan (2001) claims that links down between low educational
achievement, unemployment, involvement in crime, poor health, teenage
pregnancy and family factors have further underlined the importance of
promoting and supporting positive family experiences.

5. More recent reviews have tended to be more optimistic about positive
evidence for direct as well as indirect effects of the environment (see, eg,
Moore & Lackney, 1993). Yet many of these effects seem to be observed as
deficits in performance in schools with poor environments (eg, Schneider,
2002; Young et al, 2003).
Manlove and Elliot (1977), in one of the early studies of the impact of
teacher absenteeism, reported that “the overall performance of a school
was negatively affected by high teacher absenteeism.” (Quoted in Woods
and Montagno 1997, p. 309).
