Did your parents pay a lot of attention to your school work?

This question sprang from this question.

When you were in primary and secondary school were your parents very involved with your studies? Did they put pressure on you for good grades?

It seems to me parents kind of left it up to the schools when I was young for the most part. My mom stopped meeting teachers once I hit Jr. High. I rarely was asked about my homework. But, maybe that was just in my corner of the world.

What was your experience? How old are you? What country do you live in? Do you think it is much different now? Do you think in general parents are more involved or less with their children’s school work?
