class thoughts: week 1!

So this blog is mainly for my family relations class. Insights and thoughts and everything else from that class. So here we go! This week we talked about things like trends seen in families with one parent verses families with two parents. I thought it was interesting because in class, we talked about how children coming from a family with 2 parents get an average of 8/10 on a test, but children with only 1 parent get an average of 6/10 on a test. I have never really thought of the fact that having two parents can affect things like your school work. We also talked about divorce and the effects that has on kids too. People whose parents are divorced are more likely to be divorced also. They also are more likely to have premarital sex and they are more likely to get married at a later age. The effects divorce has on a child is more serious than I ever realized. So that is what I learned about in class this week. I look forward to this coming week and learning more about families (my favorite subject)!!
Love,
