A lecturer/expert on education I heard several years ago cited several government studies that had not been initially tied to education but nonetheless had a gruesome tale. Drug users, criminals, and drop-outs were three times more likely to come from one parent homes than two parent homes.

Some of these kids have two strikes against them before they get to the plate.

Yes. That's why I think it is great that Gov Bush (and President Bush) are so big on mentoring programs. And, keeping families together. I mean, at one point, there WERE two adults involved with the kid, right?

Thanks for your post. :)
