Article: Kids with Pets Do Better At School, Especially Rat Owners, Study Says
A study commissioned by Pets At Home which surveyed 1000 pet-owning children between the ages of 5 and 16 years found that children who have pets do better in school, with rat-owning children performing the best.
So the next time our rats run off with my boys' homework, I will have to remember that they are not, in fact, stashing it in their cage to shred for bedding, but rather, they are helping to tutor them. It appears to be working. My oldest graduated Junior High with a silver Presidential Award for academic excellence and my youngest finished his last year at grade school with straight A's and made it into accelerated math. Many thanks are owed to our many rattie friends for helping them to achieve such accomplishments!
