This post explores research that show that rich conversation is an important component of children learning. It also notes that children only less than 15% of their time at school. Therefore a key part of learning rich conversation is parents. "A study by researchers at North Carolina State University, Brigham Young University and the University of California-Irvine, for example, finds that parental involvement—checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home—has a more powerful influence on students’ academic performance than anything about the school the students attend."
