Kids less likely to be expelled from preschool when parents cooperate with teacher, study shows
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoPeer-Reviewed Publication

Preschool expulsion may be less likely, however, if a teacher perceives parents to be cooperative during discussions about the child’s challenging behavior, according to a study published in Prevention Science by Drs. Courtney Zulauf-McCurdy, Rechele Brooks and Andrew Meltzoff.
