Special Alert: Why Focus is Promoting 'Expelled'
Education
"What sculpture is to a block of marble," said Joseph Addison, "education is to the soul." In the same way, at Focus on the Family we believe that education provides for the "architecture of the soul," shaping a child's character and his or her view of the world. For this reason, we believe that the most important educators in a child's life are his or her parents.
Of course, the challenges are great for parents today to direct their child's education. The resources that you find in the following articles and resources are intended to help you to sort through the landscape of education today. We commend you for your interest in education and its impact on family and culture.
