BBC: Divorcing Parents Can Damage Children
When it comes to general education for life, I would say this is one of the most common experiences - notable others being the value of work and school and the nature of friendships and dating. Educators seem to have a hard time escaping their own perspective when it comes to work and school. Without time to socialize, friendships and dating are a hard topic - especially if students are underage. Relationships with parents are often discussed as an asset missing from the lives of some children - but this is more a complaint on grants that you see mentioned near reduced or free lunch. It's rarely discussed as something that could be fixed. I sometimes see parent reporting, but is there research out there on how best to engage parents? And how best to help children cope with their parents' immaturity? This seems only to worsen as kids grow into adults. For undergraduates, I would say it is their biggest project.
