[quote]1) Graduate high school 2) Get a job 3) Don't have kids until you're married[/quote] Interestingly enough, all of these things are interrelated. Children who grow up in single-parent (predominately single-mothers - fueled by births out of wedlock) households are more likely to graduate high school (and complete more school, on average). Then, as we know, the lack of a diploma is linked to higher crime, poverty, and unemployment rates.

It is. What did I say?

Are you sure? Re-read it. It doesn't seem to match what you linked at all.

Yeah I just checked the link. Family structure is related to academic achievement. I could go dig up my "low academic achievement relates to poverty" link, if you want.

No no, [i]less[/i] likely to complete high school.
