I know a couple who had five wonderful children in eight years. Now I know not all children turn out as well as theirs have and theirs may be the exception to the rule, but they have some very strict rules and Mom and Dad don't miss a beat with this crowd. All the girls in one room and the...

talk negative...bad attitude...I am not going into detail with what she says because the post would be removed

One of the things when I met with them today was to find one positive thing to be thankful for each day and then find one thing that they saw the Lord did for them or somebody close to them that day. The parents loved the idea the daughter took some time to warm up to the idea. I think when...

I agree, but that comes with time, with age comes maturity, with maturity comes trust, with trust comes responsibility...however, we are talking about somebody who is still in elementary school. This is a long ways from adulthood. As they grow in age more responsibility is given and trust is...

It all stems to "Children shall obey their parents in the Lord for this is right"...this girl would talk very negatively to her parents and eventually when her parents had enough of this they grounded her, then each time she took it up a notch they took it up a notch. However, I have been...

Well I guess it is a good thing I don't value or need your opinion and neither do those parents

I gosh I forgot about those days...I had always had a full size bed since the age of 8. It was my Dad's when he was a kid and my grandparents wanted it out of the camp as it was being sold. We were just moving into our new home at the time so I got his old full size bed that was at camp...

Our school system never did it with a 5+5=anything you want because you tried...you are either correct or incorrect. Then it was pass or fail on that worksheet depending on the number of questions. However our state is moving in the direction of a number or letter grade system. For...

I may be enrolled as republican, but I find myself as more of an independent when voting. I am conservative by nature and it shows when voting. However, if there is no candidate that fits how I feel because I think they are too liberal then nobody gets my vote...that is right, I just leave the...

I remember seeing something like this and the teacher saying show the work...here is the answer 8762 and the first part of the addition is ..3000.. ..3000.. 5762 = 8762 We were told this is right and wrong it is supposed to look like this ..3000.. 3000 2000 700 60 2 = 8762 It got even more...

I am just glad summer is almost over...I hate the heat. I am so looking forward to the cooler weather, colder weather, and then the snow.

I was on our school board when common core went into effect and we put it into effect before the state mandated it to take effect, it was not due until 2013 here and it went in, in 2011. There were a total of four board members who were against putting this into effect so quickly as new things...

My parents had raised us that sex is for marriage and not before as God commands. We have all taught our kids the same. Then our church has taught the kids in our youth programs the same thing. Can we guarantee that the kids will hold to God's laws, no. But we have done our part by telling...

I guess we shall see then

but when you have so many states rejecting or taking reduced federal funding for schools because they disagree with standardized testing and so many are taking a stand against common core, several states have even passed and gone back to the old educational format because students and teachers...

Common Core curriculum is not mandated to be taught to home school children to even a 1/3 of the US States. We are talking a very small fraction of children in our country. Fortunately many states still leave it up to the families for what they want to use for curriculum and many states do...

I know this is rare and not in the US, but I think it is the Netherlands that abortion is illegal except if the mother's life is in danger...even if she was raped or incest was the case. I was reading about a case of an 11 year old who was forced to carry a child to term who was raped and she...

I don't think we are out of woods. Her mood changes like night and day. She is the child left in the house. She has two older adult siblings who Mom says were never like this, but this one is adopted so knowing what the birth parents were like is a whole nother story...could whatever this...

my mother-in-law has committed physical violence to herself and others and has mental illness...if somebody ever sold her a gun, my wife and I would take possession of the weapon for her protection and turn it over to law enforcement for destruction and we would keep doing this until she stopped...

Three of the locations in our state do not do pap tests, breast exams, or tests and treatments for STDs. So to say they provide all these services for the poor is inaccurate for our area. Many hospitals or other healthcare facilities do them at low or no cost.
