Actually... there have been many studies done supporting this topic. If I were you, I would go directly to one of these studies.
Direct sources are always stronger examples. I am a teacher and I see this as a challenge many students face daily. There is a direct correlation between the amount of support the student has available at home, and the educational success of students. Of course, this is a generalization and is not true in every case, but it is something that I have seen and experienced first hand almost every day.

usually but not always strong family values will assist a student in doing well in their studies, but there is little proof that it actually makes much of a difference, what does make a difference is how the individual thinks about themselves. This is not to say that single parent families will not have strong family values. Also there will be many different factors that fit into to this theory.
all the answers above are true
but if the child is not instilled with the responsibility and drive; and if he isn't taught that what he does not will directly affect his future... he may slack off
No, I don't believe this. Some people do well in school regardless of their family life, and others, with all they have going for them, don't do well at all.
no! for sure it isnt i only live with my mom and she was never married my dad is an *** and i got all A s and one B last semester
