Description
The purpose of this research was to consider the possible
relationships between the academic achievement of homeless
children and their attitudes towards school, their
parents' attitudes toward school, their relationships with
their peers, their relationships with their parents and their
self-esteem. The "subjects" were 42 families living in seven
shelters in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Sixty-nine
children and their parents were interviewed. Three
questionnaires were used to obtain demographic information
and to define the predictor variables. The perceptions
of homeless children and their parents, how these
perceptions relate to each other and the relationships of
these perceptions to school success add to the theoretical
knowledge of the academic achievement of homeless children.
