Men In The Classroom
Forest Of The Rain Productions' CEO, Dr. Michael A. Robinson hosted a panel discussion on the important role men have in the academic success of students both in and out of the classroom.
Research has shown that when fathers and significant male role models take an active position in the lives of children they are enriched. Fathers have a major influence on the academic success and social development of their children. When fathers are involved children: (a) make As and Bs; (b) have greater motivation to succeed; (c) have higher self-esteem;(d) have less health and emotional problems; (e) more confidence; (f) are less likely to use drugs; (g) girls are less likely to engage in pre-marital sex; and (h) are less likely to become teenage parents.
