By Eunice Trotter of The News-Sentinel Ancha Jordan knows the routine, and her father is home in the evenings to enforce it. Dinner is often on the fly during weekdays, and there are always chores to do. By 9 p.m., it's bedtime. Go to sleep.
Weekends are family time.
Everyone goes to St. John Missionary Baptist Church on Sundays and sits down in the late afternoon for dinner. It's this kind of routine, stability and consistency to which Dorothy and John Jordan credit their success in rearing two daughters who've had no discipline problems in school. It's the kind of stability many kids lack today, the Jordans said. And I know single parents whose kids are doing just great, too. Ancha participates in school activities, and both parents attend school programs and events.
