[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m divorced UMC with a son (father is college-educated, lives nearby and is involved). I will admit that this isn’t the optimal family situation. I will also admit that my kid is more privileged than most. Finally, I’ll admit that a lot of things brought up in this thread are true. However, to tag people like my son (high stats, leader. at a top college) as doomed and on the off-ramp, isn’t constructive or fair. Life happens, kids (both genders) face all kinds of challenges regardless of their family set-up. Let’s focus on improving the schools and teaching drive, coping skills and resilience, for the benefit of BOTH boys and girls. [/quote] To be fair the “single parent” was in the context of low SES where one parent/father never was involved. Studies show that is a huge hurdle —not in your class bracket [/quote]
