okay. i'm tempted to ask 'what about it?'

okay... sometimes it can be easier to do something comparative. 'academic achievement in children from single parent families' as opposed to... families with two parents. or families with no parents or whatever. might be hard to isolate what is down to the single parent thing and what is down to other factors (ie economic and quality of education). but if you could find a study that made some specific claims you could say something about how all these issues muddy the waters and drawing conclusions from the findings might be harder than one supposes...
but thats just me.
and there are many different lines of attack.
but it might help if you are feeling too stuck...
