I would be curious to see what the 2-parent household percentages are when we talk about different groups, like the Asian immigrants referenced. I suspect that they have a high rate of two-parent households as do all successful immigrant groups. I think it has been clear from the 1965 Moynihan Report on that having the father involved is the key, and if we talk about other programs to address social ills, it is at best an attempt to alleviate symptoms and at worst a waste of time. We need to find a proxy for the values that are instilled in children by the 2-parent household, which is why I think the only solution to inner city dysfunction is running vouchers to parochial schools run by black churches. Let's ask Bob Woodson what he would do if he had $15K-$20k/student to run a school.
See, this is where I have a problem with PhDs, in general. Doesn't common sense dictate that the fundamental unit of society is THE FAMILY. Now that's been re-configured in some bizarre ways lately, but isn't it just common-SENSE that a two-parent household will just plain obviously, in MOST cases, have more successful children? By howEVER You wanna measure success?
As M. Amy "said" changes to cultures, societies, systems occur gradually over time, right? So give Yourselves the TIME!
Substitute SOME kind-a local institutions that will PROMOTE two-parent families. TRY it. Democrats won't be in favor, because they want INSTANT RESULTS. But, think on it, if this approach bore even MINIMAL fruits then, in the space of a SINGLE generation You'll start seeing the benefits, right?
Me? I take what I think is common-sense approaches, and adjust according to available information. Adam B. Coleman has written on Free Black Thought, so I bought his book. He's come OUTTA the urban area. Can't recall EXACTLY now, but he talks about (I thin') "lost boys" who come outta single-mother families. Gangs provide a home of a kind. Respect of a kind. Agency of a (horrible) kind. The book:
Could-a stood a better editor, but pretty near flawless as to content, if You're of a religious bent. HIS solution? Number of 'em. Right up there is women seeking husbands for quality of character and ability to provide. As opposed to usual method young folks use: Who's hot and who's not.
From Professor Loury: "People can't demonstrate any reliable interventions that are having a significant effect on this behavior."
I agree with M. Dressler. Let us ask M. Woodson what's worked and what hasn't. Then slowly expand the concepts OUTWARD, right? Is there anyone who contends that he HASN"T achieved good results? Just question how well it scales. Problems? Of COURSE. Try and make adjustments. ADAPT to local conditions one-a Sir Bob's hallmarks, right?
Yah. Read "Education of Eva Moskavitz" about Success Academy. Given book a lotta self-promotion, still the RESULTS worth noting, right?
PROBLEM is, once again, DEMOCRATS. School choice, school vouchers? Why a political football? 1) TRY. 2) CHECK how works. 3) Modify accordingly. 4) Repeat.

I think some of the charters are producing outstanding results as well. I believe comparable to elite majority white public schools
