Can anyone shed incite on how data like this is attained? I’m not a research guy, so be easy on me but I don’t understand how any method can create reliable enough data for someone to make these claims. Are they school surveys? Couldn’t find it on the site.

Edit: found it. 1135 parents were surveyed via google forums survey. Is this a large enough sample size? I feel like there would need to be tens of thousands of participants in order to make these claims. Also what’s to keep a parent from lying?

It’s an average of TWENTY parents who IDENTIFY as parents.

This sample size is meager, and this sampling process is sketchy. People who answer on-line surveys are not a representative sample of parents in the United States.
