Parent-child mismatches in educational aspirations: Prevalence, stability, and convergence over time

Life-course scholarship has documented the important role of educational aspirations in status attainment processes but has also revealed that parent-child mismatches in educational aspirations may negatively affect child development.

Does the impact of pupil absences on achievement depend on their timing
