90 percent of a school's proficiency can be explained by five factors

This is from All Pro Dad August 12, 2011

The Educational Testing Service reports that 90 percent of a school's proficiency can be explained by five factors:

1. Number of days students are absent from school,

2. Number of hours spent watching television

3. Number of pages read for homework

4. Quantity and quality of reading material in the home, and most importantly

5. The presence of two parents in the home.  Like it or not, dads matter supremely in education.  But sadly, many fathers have never set foot on their child’s school campus.
