The effects of school-based parental involvement on academic achievement at the child and elementary school level: A longitudinal study (2017, background): “The concepts of private- and public-good activities derive from the field of economics but are increasingly being applied in the field of education (Cucchiara & Horvat, 2009; McMillan, 2000; Walsh, 2010).”
The Advanced Placement Arms Race and the Reproduction of Educational Inequality (2013, background): “…plausible, especially considering evidence that upper-middle class parents will staunchly protect their children’s educational advantages at the expense of children from less advantaged families (Cucchiara & Horvat, 2009; Demareth, 2009; Oakes, Wells, Jones, & Datnow, 1997; Wells & Serna, 1996).”
The Rules of the Game and the Uncertain Transmission of Advantage (2016, background): “…parents of young children move to the suburbs in search of ‘‘good schools’’ (Holme 2002), our sample is part of the growing number of middle-class families choosing urban schools (Cucchiara and Horvat 2009; Lareau and Goyette 2014; Posey-Maddox 2014; Posey-Maddox, Kimelberg, and Cucchiara 2014).”
Attitudes Toward Diversity and the School Choice Process (2013, background): “Only recently have scholars begun to turn their attention to middle-class families who make the opposite choice—that is, to remain in the city and send their children to local public schools (Butler & Robson, 2003; Cucchiara & Horvat, 2009; Posey, 2012).”
School Influences on Parents' Role Beliefs (2013, background): “…that parents with higher incomes often create relationships with school faculty that facilitate information sharing and empower parents to make informed decisions about their child’s academic needs and progress (Cucchiara & Horvat, 2009; McGrath & Kuriloff, 1999; Weininger & Lareau, 2003).”
