Also in Chinese families the mother is most likely a stay-athome mother, meaning that she has time to help her children with their school work meaning that they will have a better understanding of the work than most other pupils meaning they get better grades. However, there are households, such as that of the working class pupils, where the student cannot get the same support from their parents like that of an Indian or Chinese household because working-class households will most likely be made up of a single-parent family and that parent most likely works long hours and probably gets minimal pay. With minimal pay, the parents might not be able to afford an accommodation with adequate working space or even a peaceful household and so noise or a crowded house may affect how well a pupil can work in that type of environment (Abbott, 2005).
