A research team frames education through functionalism, focusing on how schooling supports social stability while interacting with family roles. In a region with rising dual-earner households, schools expanded after-school tutoring and structured extracurriculars. Survey data (n = 1,100 parents) show that families reporting unpredictable work schedules are more likely to rely on school-based programs for supervision and academic support, and their children report higher homework completion when enrolled in these programs.
