The Problems With Schools ...blessed are they who keep my ways. Heed instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it. - Proverbs 8:32-33 The twentieth century was a time of radical change in our education system. A study done of the Fullerton, California, School System compared the problems in the 1940s to the 1980s and the differences were astounding. In the forties, the major problems with students were truancy, running in the halls, talking in class, and chewing gum. In the eighties and nineties, the major problems included teenage pregnancy, violence, stealing, rape, bringing knives and guns to school, drug abuse and vandalism. And with all the recent school shootings, cheating by both students and teachers, todays problems are even worse. When we hear results like this, we realize the tremendous decline of values in our overall society. I encourage you to look to the Ten Commandments. The fact is, you cant find better guidance for teaching our children how to live a successful life and how to care for their fellow man than the Big Ten. And why not begin by teaching them to your own children? Society will be a better place because of it.
