Please put your books in the upright position
Dr. Wade Horn makes an interesting metaphor when he says compares a 'regular family' to a single parent family through using airplanes. He talks about how a more traditional family will have a higher success rate for the children of the family compared to a single parent family. But he also goes onto state that there are children in single parent families that go on to lead very successful lives, but when given the choice between the two most people would more likely than not choose two parents over one any day. It's pretty interesting how Horn chooses to use airplanes to make his point. I guess it kind of makes sense in the way that raise a child is a journey through body and spirit as the kid grows up. It's almost as if the parent(s) are kind of tossing them up to fate.
