Yes, we’ve all known that, right?  But the Wall Street Journal has highlighted some new research which defines those differences.  Very interesting stuff.

I summarized my thoughts on it (and linked over to the article) on our sister site, SchoolFamily.com.   (http://www.schoolfamily.com/blog/2009/08/24/new-research-on-middle-school-parent-involvement)

Are there ways you can use this insightful research to change your approach to middle school PTOing and PTAing?  Hope so.
