Divorce and separation correlate positively with diminished school achievement and performance.

In my opinion divorce can make it harder for kids to do well in school. They might feel sad, worried, or distracted, which can affect their grades and focus. Sometimes, they might miss more school or have trouble paying attention in class. The change in family life can also make it tough to keep up with homework and studying.
DIvorce has a negative impact on all aspects of children’s academic performance. However, it is better an agreed upon divorce than to maintain a unhappy marriage.
thank you sir for sharing views on this topic.

Wouldn't it depend on the particular situation? Some family environments are so bad that a physical separation of the spouses (maybe even jailtime for one of them) could only be an improvement for the children.
The effects of divorce on children's education can vary depending on the child and the situation, but some common effects include ¹ ²:
- Diminished learning capacity and academic achievement, with elementary school children being affected the most
- Lower educational aspirations and test scores
- Increased likelihood of being held back a grade and lower grade point averages
- Less years of education
- Reduced likelihood of attending college
- Lower high school graduation rate
- Less engagement and interest in school
- Increased absenteeism
- Increased likelihood of dropping out of school
Dear Bhawna Vijay
It was my pleasure to share my views on this hot and controversial topic. I say it again. In psychological terms, it is better an agreed upon divorce than to maintain a unhappy and fake marriage. Unfortunately, namely in Western cultures, there are many marriages which are kept with the purpose of maintaining "the appearances".
