The study suggests that family structure and parental involvement are crucial for\u200b academic success. Furthermore, regular participation in religious activities \u2064is linked to \u200cimproved \u200dacademic outcomes,\u2064 as faith can instill a sense of purpose and discipline in students. The article\u2063 critiques \u200cviews that downplay the role\u200c of family and faith in education, arguing that such perspectives are contrary to the evidence presented in the study. It concludes by \u200bemphasizing the need to embrace\u2063 traditional family values and \u200bfaith to positively influence educational outcomes in society.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>It cannot be stressed enough that Christmas should be a celebration of Jesus Christ, first and foremost.<\/p>\n<p>And it turns out that stressing that fact can be beneficial for young students, at least according to a 2020 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepublicdiscourse.com\/2020\/01\/59167\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from the Public Discourse, which is a journal of the Witherspoon Institute.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the study is almost five years old now, but its findings should be timeless for anyone with a room temperature IQ.<\/p>\n<p>The main topic this study wanted to tackle involved &ldquo;achievement gaps&rdquo; &mdash; that is, as the study put it, &ldquo;the well-documented discrepancies between the scholastic achievements of African American and Latinos on the one hand and white students on the other.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The study&rsquo;s author, William Jeynes, further explained the crux of his findings: &ldquo;My meta-analysis revealed that if an African American or Latino student was a person of faith and came from a two biological parent family, the achievement gap totally disappeared, even when adjusting for socioeconomic status.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Well, would you look at that.<\/p>\n<p>And here the left is telling us that race and status provide unconquerable barriers of entry to success without government-mandated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/unfit-serve-obesity-epidemic-creating-recruitment-woes-national-security-risk-bidens-dei-policies-dont-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DEI initiatives<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">meta-analysis yielded results<\/a> that will surprise many: The variables that most reliably reduce the achievement gap are family and faith,&rdquo; Jeynes explained in his study.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The data are clear: Parental family structure and parental involvement were major explanatory factors and solutions with respect to the achievement gap,&rdquo; Jeynes continued, explaining that having two <em>involved&nbsp;<\/em>parents was a major advantage, regardless of class or race.<\/p>\n<p>Jeynes effectively argued for keeping the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/d-c-public-schools-use-black-lives-matter-curricula-to-teach-black-history-month\/\" title=\"D.C.

However, the reality is that when one parent must take on the roles and functions of two, it is simply more difficult than when two parents are present.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Jeynes further explained (emphasis added): &ldquo;In addition to family structure, a student&rsquo;s faith also has a significant impact on his or her academic performance.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Regularly attending church, or another house of worship, and defining oneself as being a very religious person yielded the most significant reductions in the achievement gap.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There are likely a number of reasons for this relationship; faith can give a person <strong><em>a sense of purpose in life and a disciplined lifestyle<\/em><\/strong>  that supports academic success.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Perhaps most significantly, the meta-analysis revealed that, if an African American or Latino student was a person of faith and came from a two-biological-parent family, the achievement gap totally disappeared, even when adjusting for socioeconomic status.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Various other studies have confirmed that people of faith do better in school by a pretty sizable margin.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Thing is, you shouldn&rsquo;t need this study to confirm this.<\/p>\n<p>Of course parental involvement and a strict moral code are conducive to academic learning.
