No. Parental involvement can be traditional and non-traditional. Parental involvement is required for a child to have a succesful academic/life, however, there are many ways a parent can be involved. I recently read an article about a migrant family and "non-traditional" parent involvment. I bet you would not be succesful in recruiting those parents to do homework and perhaps they aren't able to attend a PTA meeting or back to school but all their children graduated from HS and have sucessful college carrers!
Note the article is from the Harvard Educational Review, Volume 71, number 3, 2001 titled, "The Value of Hark Work: Lessons on Parent Involvment from an (Im) migrant Household." by Gerardo Lopez.
