Abstract
The socio-economic aspect of the parents plays an important role in the acquisition of education by their children. It is commonly believed that better the socioeconomic status of an individual, more improved will be the educational performance of his children. Keeping this in view, it was considered necessary to find out the extent to which the said myth held true. The study was conducted in the Laboratory High School, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad by interviewing 90 respondents, being the parents/guardians of 9th and 10th class students. The socioeconomic status of the respondents varied from very poor to very good.
