WHY THINK OUR CHILDREN
ARE PROBLEMS IN SCHOOL
To The Editor:

To The Editor:
My personal view as to why our
children have so little respect for
us their parents, their principals
and their teachers: In so many
cases these days decisions are left
to our children, too much so. The
Bible says "Honor Thy Father
and Thy Mother" How can they
honor us if they can't respect us.
In my mind honor follows respect,
and so the saying goes you can't
have one without the other. In
order to respect someone you first
must see and hear some evidence
of good sound reasoning, and l
believe with all my heart, that deep
down in their hearts, our children
are longing for our advice and rea-
soning. 1t is our duty as parents
to take time out in our fast world
and love and advise our children
with firnness and with under
standing to the very best of our
ability. We speak of a code of
ethics which our school should have,
with which l am in full agreement,
but first, in order for our princi-
pals and teachers to see that our
children abide by these ethics with
out lots of trouble our children
must have some ethics with which
to conform at home. Therefore /
say with all sincerity we as par
ents must quit Sinking our duty
for just as surely as God blessed
US with our children, it is our duty
to teach them to respect US, and
in so doing respect for others will
come naturally. l say to you as
parents, let US all earn the re-
spect of our children. / know we
all want our children to love us,
but you cannot love someone you
do not respect and as We earn
their respect let US encourage our
principals and teachers to help us
see that our children abide by this
code of ethics, and in so doing ]
am sure that we all will have more
