问题     A father’s relationship to his child’s current and future academic success and the level of his or her development in academic potential and scholastic achievement are both factors with some rather interesting implications that educators are beginning to study and appraise. As a matter of fact, "life with father", has been discovered to be a very important factor in determining a child’s progress or lack of progress in school.
    A recent survey of over 16,000 children made by the National Child Development Study in London, England, revealed that children whose fathers came to school conferences and accompanied their children on outings did measurably better in school than did those children x, hose fathers were not involved in these activities. The study, which monitored children born during a week in March, 1958, from the time of their birth through the years of their early schooling, further revealed that the children of actively involved fathers scored as much as seven months higher in reading and maths than did those children whose only involved parent was the mother. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the role played by fathers in the raising of a child. It indicated a much higher level of parental involvement by the father than had been anticipated. Over 66% of the fathers were said to have played a major role in parental responsibility.
    The study also suggested that the greatest level of parental parenting took place in the families of only children. As the number of children and financial obligations increased, the father’s apparent interest and involvement with the children decreased. However, no matter what the size of financial condition of the family, a father’s active participation in the child’s development made great difference in the children’s progress.
    The study further revealed that while the frequency of overnight absences reflected a corresponding deficiency of the child’s level in maths and reading, a father’s employment on late shifts appeared to have little effect on the child’s academic progress. The data from the study was obtained primarily through interviews with parents, teachers and physicians. The information evaluating the level of the father’s parenting performance was elicited primarily from the admittedly subjective observations of their wives.
