Student Aid For Single Parents
November 9th, 2009 . by adminSingle Parents are so dedicated to their children’s educational success that they are more active than the average 2 parent family. These parents need a break, beginning with Student Aid so that they can continue or even finish their education.
Findings from some studies show that fathers of more than half of the kindergarten through high school-age children in the country participate at their children’s school at a moderate or high level. While such involvement of fathers in school in two-parent families is much less frequent than that of mothers (52 vs. 79 percent), it is far from uncommon. What is particularly interesting is that when fathers have sole responsibility for raising children, they are almost as likely to be highly involved in school activities (46%) as mothers in either two-parent or single-parent families (56 and 49% respectively). In fact, the study’s findings indicate that the involvement of single-parents (fathers or mothers) in their children’s schools approximates that of mothers in two-parent families.
