Before the new school year begins, here’s a pop quiz for parents of middle-school children: What do you do when your child brings home a bad report card?
A. Lecture the child.
B. Restrict her activities, such as participating in sports or clubs.
C. Create a home environment that stimulates learning.
Parents who want their middle school kids to succeed should opt for “C” because it could result in higher literacy and math achievement in high school, according to University of Michigan researchers.
