In my overall review, the journal article “Institutional Change and Coproduction of Public Services: The Effect of Charter School on Parental Involvement Robert Bifulco, and Helen F. Ladd did provide substantial support and research to support the aim of this study, which was to conform the effect involving parental involvement on charter school. The cross-sectional study did find strong association between parents’ involvement of children attending charter schools, especially in primary and middle schools compared to similar public schools. Much of descriptive was purely descriptive and provided a snapshot of the characteristics and frequency of parent’s involvement in charter school. Further, the problem statements were clearly visible to

Nonetheless, the findings were section and report objectively, but due to the difficulty of the statistical data employed in the study, it would not stand alone the average reader. The concept of analysis was good, but there was very little research in the traditional sense for this article, but the researchers does include other writers on this subject matter. Cited are Carolyn Hoxby, an American economist whose research focuses on issues in education and public economics and others writers as John E. Brandl and Paul Hill, Pierce C. Lawrence and James W. Guthrie, an educator in education and public policy. More literature review could have been introduced in the beginning, however the researchers did open up at the very beginning about the positive benefits of participation and improving on the quality of services in society. Though not a complicated issue the researchers admit that though institutional characteristics does seem to promote parental involvement, that is it only part of the explanation for the extent of parental involvement in charter school than in traditional public schools. The study was easy to conduct simply asking similar questions to respondents in both charter schools and traditional public schools. The data was collected once and the regression analysis provided …show more content…
This was a good measure, but the downside is that it was based on the principal’s perception, rather than the actual activity counts. The measures may have well been influence by the principal’s incomplete knowledge of respondents and their expectation. More important, because it was based on perception, this could cause the information to distorted by the principal to make the school appear more appealing. Another shortcoming of this measurement is that only reflects the principal’s expectations about what is desirable. Although table 3 outlined potential determinants of parental involvement, unfortunately the SASS survey does little to provide of the parent’s comfort level with the school and/preferences. This is potential weakness because it does not involve a survey of parents. Specifically, the study sought to determine the effect of parental involvement in charter schools and their objectives were answerable and they choose to obtain them by testing their hypothesis which help to explain the level of involvement. At the end the no summary was provided, the but the conclusion sum up the information produced from the administered survey. What could be said about a subject of this magnitude is that additional research is need to see if the hypothesis remains consistence if parents were
