Have you ever wondered about the extent to which peer groups affect academic performance? Make no mistake; a peer group can impact your child's academic performance significantly. However, to say that one's peer group is the most influential factor in academic performance isn't true either because there are so many other factors that influence educational performance.
Peer group greatly affects a child's academic performance but it is not the only reason. Cultural background, financial status, family background, study habits, interaction in the web, how the child was raised need also to be considered. However, the child's success or failure during studies cannot actually predict what's going to happen in the future. There are lot of successful people nowadays that failed but now, they sleep under bed of money.
