My parents placed a high priority on education of their children, as their whole
generation has, ... They saw the value of the opportunity that it presented to
my generation.

If The Family Circus has any social value, it shows parents that their children are normal. And if there is a philosophy behind the feature, it's this: A home filled with love and laughter is the happiest place in the world.

Guns are not toys and parents need to watch their children very closely.

It's not the education; it's the social issues in the schools. The children are troubled there. The parents are troubled. There's no cure in sight.

Parents should conduct their arguments in quiet, respectful tones, but in a foreign language. You'd be surprised what an inducement that is to the education of children.

As principals, we often share the belief with parents that education for their children is a journey and not a race. I am very proud of all those former students who have become successful or happy with their lives.
