relax and let the education system take control. But this is not the case at all. As research shows, parents have an even greater influence on their children’s academic results than the school does. Most of a child’s ability to communicate, to relate to teachers and peers and their attitude to learning, is formed from home. Parents can help give their children a head start, by beginning their education at home. Many parents don’t realise how they can help their children at home. Things as simple

I am a huge advocate for the phrase “education starts at home” and I personally believe that the success of a student, not only in the classroom but life in general, truly depends on the support system that they have around them.

Home-based education is the fastest growing educational segment in the nation. Between the years 1999 and 2011, the homeschool population has doubled and continues to grow at a rate of 2%-8% per year (Ray, 2014).

Most parents are unqualified to teach the subjects they do, so the curriculum is inadequate and cannot effectively teach (Hudak). Public schools, on the other hand, hire teachers fully qualified to teach their subjects.

Women are raised to take over household duties. Starting from a young age women are raised to do the cleaning, cooking, and just work around the house.

So chances are that the dream of one day owning a home is no longer alive and well among Millennials
through generations, even til this day. However, this ideology depends on the culture and the generation mothers were brought up in and what they decide to teach their daughters about such roles. After women were given the opportunity to get an education and treated as equals, society’s beliefs undertook a turning point on women’s roles in society. Yet, there still seems to be a question amongst women in search of self identity and expectations from parents. The short story, “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid
With the high school graduation coming up, and the end of the school year approaching; most students, at least the most fortunate are all dreaming of foreign countries.
