EFFECT OF WORKING CLASS MOTHERS ON THEIR CHILDREN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
ABSTRACT
The goal of this study was to look into the effects of working-class moms on their children’s academic achievement in Odeda Local Government Area in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Five secondary schools were selected from among the many secondary schools in Odeda Local Government. A questionnaire was utilised to collect data, which were then analysed using percentages.
The findings show that children whose moms combine the roles of working class and motherhood fare significantly better in school than children of complete working class mothers who spend the majority of their time outside the home.
The researcher also made some useful suggestions and recommendations that I sincerely believe would help to minimise the rate of poor performance of children in Odeda Local Government Area of Abeokuta in particular and Nigeria in general
if they are strictly adhered to. Some of these recommendations are; working-class mothers should have time to supervise their children’s academic work in school, and teachers, on the other hand, should learn how to call the attention

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
The home is the house, flat, or location where a child or children reside with their parents. Women’s essential societal tasks are to bear and raise children who will contribute to the household and society as a whole.
Mothers are traditionally expected to participate or involve in social activities or jobs that may need her absence from the home environment; this is evident in women who have been working or engaged in a variety of activities such as labour, manual
white collar, and civil service jobs. Many parents have hopes of a successful life for their children, which motivates them to do well.
However, the relative success of working-class moms has been linked to family culture, which in turn raises questions about women’ experiences in the modern family. According to the British Journal of Sociology of Education, the working-class mother is an eighter (retaining conventional gender relations).
And there are some factors that were identified as contributing to the “traditional” life trajectory for a working-class mother, and the author concludes that while neither traditional nor traditional working-class mothers might become greatly involved in formed aspects of schooling, and it is clear that this relationship with their children strongly influence their academic experience or performance
And also some of the working-class mothers perform poorly due to lack As a result, this has contributed to a lack of proper motherly care and peer feeding, which can result in permanent physical handicap or death, as well as peer development of language skills, specifically in their mother tongue or the language of their environment, as a result of the infants’ ability to convert signals into words.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
This project is aimed to investigate the effects of working-class mothers on their children’s academic achievement. Specifically, this research will seek answers to the following questions:
I. What are the ramifications of having a working-class mother in the family?
ii. What are the advantages and disadvantages of a working-class mother in the family?
iii. Which vocations are most likely to have an impact on children’s academic performance?
iv. What impact does a working-class mother have on her children’s academic achievement?
v. Why do working-class mothers prefer to engage in occupations over domestic activities and responsibilities?
1.3 PURPOSE OF STUDY
The goal of this study is to detail how different types of working-class mothers influence their children’s school performance, as well as how mothers who engage in “dual occupation” are able to accommodate for their children’s academic and moral growth.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS.
i. How will the absence of working-class women affect their children’s moral development during their formal working hours?
ii. What are the primary variations in academic performance between children of career women and non-career women?
iii. What are the reasons why moms are unable to go without working or participate in any job activities?
iv. What variables contribute to poor academic performance in children whose mothers work?
v. How do household activities affect a working mother’s performance at work?
