Over the last half-century, psychologists and sociologists have paid close attention to the role of parental expectations in influencing children's academic achievement. Parents' expectations have been demonstrated to play a significant effect in their children's academic progress. Students whose parents with high expectations obtain better grades, perform better on standardized tests, and stay in school longer than students whose parents have low expectations (Davis-Kean 2005; Pearce 2006; Vartanian et al. 2007). Student drive to succeed in school, scholastic and social resilience, and college aspirations are all linked to high parental expectations (Hossler and Stage 1992; Peng and Wright 1994; Reynolds 1998). Furthermore, academic expectations of parents appear to regulate the relationship between family background and achievement, and high parental expectations tend to buffer the impact of low instructor expectations on student accomplishment (Benner and Mistry 2007; Zhan 2005).
