[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Here is an interesting article on single parent households (also another factor where the US is not doing as well). What I find interesting is not so much how many single parent households we have (which is a lot), but how many of those single parents are working at least full time when compared to countries like Germany and the Netherlands. The difference is HUGE. In those other countries a single parent is much more likely to be working part-time. That makes a big difference to a child. It could be that those countries have systems in place to support these parents better. You can also see that Finland has the least single parent homes. That's interesting because they score the highest on the PISA. http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/10/single-parents-around-the-world/ [b]The Common Core can't change this stuff.[/b] [/quote] Nobody has said that it would.[/quote]
