Anne Lareau (2003) argues that parents’ child-rearing practices have a profound effect on academic and later occupational success for children, even holding constant such important factors as gender, race and school effects. She says that social class impacts these child-rearing practices and that middle-class families use a specifictype of practice called concerted cultivation. Concerted cultivation involves parents organizing children’s daily activities, using reasoning skills in talking with children, and teaching them how to interact with the institutions around them. Using the National Education Longitudinal Study (NELS)of 1988, the current study tests the theoretical validity of concerted cultivation. The results show that concerted cultivation significantly predicts both student GPA and standardized test scores.
