Nothing more powerfully determines the shape of a child’s life than his or her values, internal process, beliefs, sense of right or wrong. A child’s values-more than his or her race, class, sex, ethnicity, neighborhood, genes or background, will determine that child’s fate.
Not all teachers are parents, but all parents are teachers-children first teachers, children’s all but indispensable teachers.
The child is not a ward given to the state for its nurture. The child is a gift of God given in trust to his or her parents. Our schools should treat our young people as gifts of God, not as subjects of social experimentation or as young animals in heat.
Fatherhood involves a lot more than getting a woman pregnant. Real Fatherhood means, love, commitment scarifies and an unwillingness to share responsibility and not walk away from one’s children. Young boys and girls who do not grow up with fathers are far more likely to drop out of school, to become promiscuous, to go on welfare to use drugs, and to commit crime.
Family is the most important institution. Efforts must be made to preserve and strong then the family. Heroic efforts, if necessary. Family values does not mean using code words, seeking a political wedge or speaking to demean or to belittle others, it means seeking to honor and to offering what is best in us. All real education is the architecture of the soul.
