Response to statistics

I thought that many of the statisctis were very interesting. Especilly the one about mothers placeing thier children depending on how their own mother did in school. There wasn't anything on birth fathers, which to me isn't very surprising...I felt that finding these helped with my final reserch and finding numers to support my research.
