| Article Title :: Public School Sex-Education Classes --- Bad News For Parents and Children |
| |

| Article Title :: Andy Griffith Show Family Lessons |
| |
| Although it might seem pretty corny to a lot of folks today, the old Andy Griffith Show really did have a lot of common sense family values that we could learn from today.Take for instance the episode "Bailey's Bad Boy" that guest starred Bill Bixby as a spoiled rich teenager who wanted his rich dad to bail him out of jail once he got in trouble in Mayberry. Bixby's character sees the perfect example of parenting from Andy when Taylor makes Opie stand on his own two feet and pay for a window he had broken. Too often in real life we bail our kids out of everything. You don't really do your kid a favor when you take away any chance they might have of getting a personal sense of respo (read full article) |

Asking children who are poor readers to study these subjects is like asking them to climb a rope with one arm.Kids learn to read in their most formative (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Parents Rights Violated By Public School Compulsory Attendence Laws |

| Compulsory attendance laws are school authorities’ first assault on parental rights. These laws force almost forty-five million children to sit in often boring classes six to eight hours a day for twelve years.
