Upper and middle-class parents invest considerable time facilitating their children's activities, while working class and poor families take a more hands-off approach. These different strategies influence how children approach school. But missing from the discussion is the fact that millions of parents on both sides of the class divide are raising their children to listen to God. What impact does a religious upbringing have on their academic trajectories? Drawing on 10 years of survey data with over 3,000 teenagers and over 200 interviews, God, Grades, and Graduation (GGG) offers a revealing and at times surprising account of how teenagers' religious upbringing influences their educational pathways from high school to college. GGG introduces readers to a childrearing logic that cuts across social class groups and accounts for Americans' deep relationship with God: religious restraint. This book takes us inside the lives of these teenagers to discover why they achieve higher grades than their peers, why they are more likely to graduate from college, and why boys from lower middle-class families particularly benefit from religious restraint. But readers also learn how for middle-upper class kids--and for girls especially--religious restraint recalibrates their academic ambitions after graduation, leading them to question the value of attending a selective college despite their stellar grades in high school. By illuminating the far-reaching effects of the childrearing logic of religious restraint, GGG offers a compelling new narrative about the role of religion in academic outcomes and educational inequality"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Living for God -- Remarkable Report Cards -- A Domino Effect -- God's Guardrails -- Unexpected Destinations -- The Road Less Taken -- Conclusion. 650 0 $a Church and education $z United States. 650 0 $a Academic achievement $z United States. 650 0 $a Child rearing $x Religious aspects. 650 0 $a Parenting $x Religious aspects. 650 0 $a Families $x Religious aspects. 650 0 $a Success. 650 2 $a Achievement 650 6 $a EÌglise et eÌducation $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a EÌducation des enfants $x Aspect religieux. 650 6 $a Familles $x Aspect religieux. 650 6 $a SucceÌs. 650 7 $a Academic achievement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794949 650 7 $a Child rearing $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854605 650 7 $a Church and education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00860476 650 7 $a Families $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728922 650 7 $a Parenting $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01053421 650 7 $a Success. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01137041 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Horwitz, Ilana M. $t God, grades & graduation $d New York : Oxford University Press, [2022] $z 9780197534168 $w (DLC) 2021037315 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20230817010137.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=611DCF083CC311EE8B657E6F2BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
