You may email me Brian Mud at iHeartMedia dot com,
hit me up on social at Brian Mud Radio. You
may also use the iHeartRadio talk back feature. We'd love
it if you go into the iHeartRadio app, make as
(00:21):
your number one preset, and while you're in there, you'll
see a little microphone button. Tap it you may lay
down the message right there, maybe for future Q and A. Now,
this one actually was submitted this way. However, in the
interest of trying to protect the identity of the teacher,
I opted to go ahead and have the transcription for
(00:43):
you here, so I'll read it rather than playing the
message for you. I always do air on the side
of the individual's anonymous approach, if at all possible, unless
you don't want that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
So today's that is this.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Hey, Brian, I'm listening on my way to work, as
they usually do. I'm a high school teacher in Southward,
a retired military, retired Navy and conservative, and I was
listening to your show today, talked about that high school
teacher that did that atrocious thing with the Dictator award.
Just to your point about parent involvement, that's a big
(01:21):
struggle to get printal involvement. One of my goals for
this year is to try to reach out to as
many parents as possible, try to get more involvement with
the parents. So, yeah, I think getting them involved in
their kids' education always a good thing. And as you know,
as a conservative teacher, I have this hope for this
next generation that I think can make a difference, and
hope the state will start doing more to incentivize conservative
(01:43):
teachers into the field. I think it's sorely needed and
it would be nice to not be in the minority
in the field.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Great show.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Loved listening and appreciate all that you do, and well,
thank you. Appreciate what you're doing for sure. And yeah,
if you happen to miss that, you know, somewhere in
the order of by high school you're talking about like
eighty seven or eighty nine percent of high school teachers,
they're Democrats, and so he's talking about being in the minority.
That's the kind of environment that he's operating within also
(02:15):
part of the reason why protecting his identity, you know
which I.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Always tried to do.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
One of the things with Q and A I always
want to do is encourage participation. I never want somebody
to feel like, oh my gosh, you know you're you're
going to get me into trouble with with somebody if
I go ahead and reach out to you. So a
couple of things here. The research supporting the benefits of
printal engagement and education, it is long standing, it is
(02:42):
wide reaching, it is overwhelmingly positive.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
So about that. Let's start with academic achievement.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Children with engaged parents score anywhere from ten to twenty
five percent higher on standardized tests and reading the math
compared to peers with less involved parents. There's a meta
analysis that found parental involvement in school activities like attending
a parent teacher conference or volunteering relates to a sixteen
to thirty one percent increase in academic performance across all
(03:12):
grade levels.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Students with involved.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Parents anywhere from fifteen to twenty percent more likely to
graduate high school and pursue higher education. Parntal engagement at
an especially young age elementary school K through five has
a particularly strong effect increasing the likelihood of college enrollment
by up to twenty five percent. And again, that is
academic achievement. If you take a look at engagement and motivation,
(03:39):
kids with active parental involvement are thirty percent more likely
to show higher engagement in school, including better attendance and
motivation to complete assignments. You had to study from the
National Center for Education statistics that found students whose parents
regularly communicate with teachers are one and a half times
more likely to complete homework consistently. Taking onok now at
(04:04):
behavioral outcomes, engage parents contribute to a twenty to thirty
percent reduction and behavioral issues such as classroom disruptions or suspensions,
and schools report fewer disciplined aary incidents when parents participate
in school events or maintain.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Open communication with teachers.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
So then we take a look at outcomes based on
the type of engagement.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Home based engagement.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
This means helping with homework or just even talking to
your kids about what happened at school that day. That
is associated with a ten to fifteen percent improvement in grades.
If you take it a step further, now, it's school
based involvement, attending meanings volunteering that is linked to a
twelve to eighteen percent increase in test scores and teacher communication,
(04:50):
so regular parent teacher interaction boost student performance by an
average of eight to twelve percent. So literally in every
category that's been measured, there is improvement when pairs and
to engage in the more ways that parents are engaged in,
the earlier they're engaged, the better the results. So, as
I mentioned earlier in the week, many well intaged of
parents are that busy, I mean real world excuses here,
(05:11):
struggling to try to support their family and may not
be as engaged as they would like to be, but
where there's an opportunity to do so. The evidence is
overwhelming here, and in terms of shaping the overall future
of kids, you know, next to instilling the belief in God,
there's just about nothing else that a parent could do
that would seemingly be in the better long term interest
(05:33):
of their kids than staying engaged throughout their education.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
