Teachers Ignoring Fathers' Roles in Education

Nightmist writes "This story on EurekAlert details how teachers for children in low-income, at-risk households were routinely ignoring the role and interest of fathers (or father figures) in the educational development of such children. After some study and sensitivity training for the teachers, they began to include fathers more. The misperception among teachers, according to the study, is that most of these children have no fathers."
