Many fathers today are more actively involved with the education of their children than their own fathers were, even during the summer months. Hooray for modern men!
In a recent online survey commissioned by Kumon Math and Reading Centers (April 2009), dads feel one of their main parenting roles is to help their children excel in school. A full 50 percent of the fathers surveyed indicated that they were more likely than their wives to motivate kids to do schoolwork.
Other survey highlights:
3 out of 4 dads were aware of summer learning opportunities
6 out of 10 dads enroll their kids in organized summer learning programs

Happy Father's Day!
