For Parents
"Research shows that parents' attitudes towards their children's education, and their involvement in it, have a significant impact on children's success in school. The mathematics your child learns, especially in middle and high school, can play a major role in determining his or her future education and career opportunities." (taken from "What can I do to make sure my child succeeds in math?", NCTM website)
