Abstract
This is a second chapter on education (see document no. 19) from the 'Studies in a Hawaiian Community' (see documents nos. 7, 17-19, 21-27.) In this chapter the authors examine differences in child-rearing practices to determine why some Nanakuli students perform better than others on achievement tests. The better students tend to be from younger families with better-educated mothers. Parental nurturance and indulgence cease abruptly at an early age in all Hawaiian families, however younger-generation parents then begin to train children in discipline and responsibility, whereas older-generation parents are more concerned with respect and obedience. The authors discuss how these different approaches affect school performance.
