Young children's educational achievement is strongly influenced by their parents' education levels and social class background rather than just their parents' current income. Children in poverty-stricken homes tend to receive little encouragement or involvement in their education from their parents, who are stressed with daily struggles and do not see education's value. Parent-child interactions around schooling are limited, so kids feel education is unimportant. When a parent discovered their child texting frequently in class and at night impacting grades, the parent confiscated the phone despite the child's excuses, resulting in an argument where both felt disrespected.
