Karraker, Meg Wilkes
International Journal of Social Education, v9 n2 p46-52 Fall-Win 1994-95
Contends that, in the public's perception, much of adolescents' trouble today can be traced to deterioration in the quality of family life. Reports on a study of education completion and marriage. Finds that females living with mothers only, who complete their senior year in high school, actually have higher educational attainment and later marriage plans. (CFR)
