REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Harris &Gibbon (1996) State communication is a vital component for school success. Parents who prepare their children talk about setbacks, possible stressors and copying skills.
Hines, (19970 Methods and results of an empirical study show divorce is the most common but only one way a traditional family might develop into a but separations and divorces remain very. Half of all marriage are expected to end in divorce. A more representative statistic might be, approximately 64% of the marriages will be disrupted.
Jameson (1997) specifies the important of a quiet time and place for home work, there was also a discussion on the negative impact of television. But the positive impact of praise.
Watkins (1997) theorized that parent’s involvement has made an various types of involvement including home instruction, volunteering in the classroom and participation in school governance. His comments on achievement goal theory were particularly interesting. Achievement goal theory looks aat how children view the reasons for learning and the purpose of education. A child having a mastery goal orientation focuses on learning more than performing, bad a child having performance goal orientation is concerned more with the evaluation they receive than acquisition of skills. Students with a mystery goal seem to have more persistence and a higher intrinsic motivation. On the other hand, performance goal students appear to have greater difficulty with deep information processing. There were separate scales used in this study for mastery orientation and performance orientation. Some questions asked about encouraging hard work talking about what’s going on in school and reading children many authors.
Wallis (1998) even thought suggests that you cannot purchase a child’s success or wishers it into existences, poverty affects a child’s academic success in many times.
Wallis (1998) wrote a parent’s guide on the importance of encouraging, of encouraging, praising and involvement.
Mehralian (2007) studies that temperament at home, every day work, emotional conditions, dominance life are shows negative impact on pupils achievement.
Hofferth & Sandberg (2007) Wallis & Cole (2007) discuss factors in a home environment that provide children with education tools needed to achieve academic success.
Hofferth & Sandiberg (2077) did a study on how American children spend their time. The authors were careful not to try and determine causality, but rather examine some activities significantly associated with achievement. This article has shown that the amount of time spent at home eating, sleeping and reading is linked to children’s achievement and behavior. Other activities thought to affect academic success were: household work, house hold conversations, group leisure activities and family meals.

TOOL USED FOR THE STUDY:
In attitude scale specially designed and administered for the study was used to collect the data for the present investigation. The attitude scale is adopted from Suresh Babu, A., (2008). To measure the impact of environment and academic achievement of 10th class students, investigator used the three points scale comparing of 64 items. The reliability co-efficient calculated by test – retest method is o.89 and validity is 0.921.
SAMPLE SETECTED

The first stage is locality i.e., rural and urban (150+150), the second stage is management i.e., Government, Private and Aided Schools (100+100+100) (300). I1t is a 2×3×2 factorial design with 300 sample subjects.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The mean scores and standard deviation of each category of data were found-out then T-test. F-test employed to test the hypothesis at0.01.0.05 level of significance.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Management
The relationship of home environment of 10th female students with their management is studied in the present investigation. On the basis of management, the 10th class students are divided into three groups. The Government school students form with the Group-I, Group-II forms with the Private school students and Group-III forms with the Aided students. The corresponding home environment of 10th class students of the three groups were analyzed accordingly. The mean values of home environment of 10th class female students for the three groups were tested for significance by employing ‘F’-test. The following hypothesis is framed.
