The most common factor which influences the academic performance of students is family. If the parents are interested in how their child is doing at school, the student will be more interested in his lessons too. Educated parents generally show more interest in the academic performance of their children; however, this should be a practice common to all families not only to the educated ones. When the parents are not interested in the success or failure of their children, the child will not care about school or lessons, and will perform poorly.
