(5,756 posts)Please point me to the studies that correlate good parenting with a high school diploma or GED.
There are many reasons a person may not finish high school. Lots of them, like poverty, ill parents or relatives they care for and the like are beyond the control of the person who has to drop out of high school.
While I am fortunate enough to have a high school and college degree I find your implication that people who don't have a high school degree can't be good parents insulting. You might want to remember we had a depression in the last hundred years. I'm not sure but I sincerely doubt my grandmother had a high school degree. I doubt she was given the chance to learn more than how to read and write and do basic arithmetic. Yet she managed to raise 13 children including my father and they all turned out pretty well.
You are really being an elitist snob.
