That's exactly what I thought.
Single people are most often poor, but that doesn't necessarily mean they have less education. They may have a certain amount of education, but let's take it for granted that their level of education is lower than that of others.
Let's talk about parents. If a mother and father can't read or write adequately, when children do their homework at home, their parents would like to help, but they have trouble understanding, reading and writing the children's homework. If they can't help their children, the children will go back to school the next day and have to face their classmates whose parents are perhaps a little more fortunate and who may have had a little more help at home. Those children will have trouble making progress and may not try to acquire a postsecondary education. Those children risk being caught in the vicious circle of poverty.
Consequently, if we want to be able to help children, we also have to be able to offer parents the opportunity to improve their reading and writing. This is the literacy aspect.
Do you think that literacy is an important factor, among many others, in helping children get ahead? I'm mainly talking about parents' literacy.
