The surprising ways in which a religious upbringing shapes the
academic lives of teens It's widely acknowledged that American
parents from different class backgrounds take different approaches
to raising their children. 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 offers a revealing and at times surprising
account of how teenagers' religious upbringing influences their
educational pathways from high school to college. Dr. Ilana M.
Horwitz estimates that approximately one out of every four students
in American schools are raised with religious restraint. These
students orient their life around God so deeply that it alters how
they see themselves and how they behave, inside and outside of
church. 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, God, Grades and
Graduation offers a compelling new narrative about the role of
religion in academic outcomes and educational inequality.
