Reaffirming
God’s plan for the home--The Value of
Mom and Dad. (by
Karla Dial in “Citizen Link,” a Focus on the Family Affiliate.)
An analysis of 20 years’ worth of school
suspension rates nationwide shows that the greatest influence on boys’ behavior
at school is not the type of school they attend or teacher they have, but the
type of home in which they’re being raised.
Researchers at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business found that boys being
raised in intact homes with both parents had the least behavioral problems and
school suspensions, while those being raised by single mothers had the
most.
Glenn T. Stanton, director of Global
Family Formation Studies at Focus on the Family, said intact families are the
best for children of either gender.
“This supports over three decades of
consistent research showing that kids who grow up in a home with their married
parents tend to do better in all measures of educational attainment than their
peers being raised in single, divorced and cohabiting-parent homes,” he said.
“This is true from everything from grade-point average, behavioral issues, high
school graduation and going on to graduate from college. Moms and dads both
matter here, as well as the type of relationship between them.”
