Education status without The Father

In studies involving over 25,000 children using nationally representative
data sets, children who lived with only one parent had lower grade point
averages, lower college aspirations, poor attendance records, and higher drop
out rates than students who lived with both parents. --Source: McLanahan, Sara

I also know from speaking from personal experience both in my family and seeing form others. Education in a single parent household is very critical. the GPA average most likely stay at the minumin. which i personal think due to the absent of the other parent not being able to spend time an d help the child if needed i think that only one parent, one person, can only do so much.
