Or take education. The Korean adoption study found that if a mom has an extra year of education, her adoptee gets five more weeks. To raise her child’s educational attainment by a single year, a mom would need more than a decade of extra schooling. That’s practically an entire childhood. Even ignoring the massive cost for the mother, it’s a lonely life for the child.
WHAT DOES 5 WEEKS MEAN. Princeton semesters are 12 weeks. Cornell at 15. The average school year can differ across states by 5 days a year!
