All of us -- parents, schools, communities and government -- share responsibility to keep kids safe.

Individual character involves honoring and embracing certain core ethical values; honesty, respect, responsibility . . . Parents must teach their children from the earliest age the difference between right and wrong. But we must all do our part.

What it boils down to is parents are going to be mad at us because schools are overcrowded, when it's not our fault.

Parents should know that our schools are now one of the largest sources of unhealthy food for their kids.

You do more for your kids than your parents did for you. My responsibility is to make [my daughter's] life easier and better than mine. That's my job.

We build schools and give government loans and grants to college kids; for those of us who are parents, tuition will often be the last big subsidy we give the children we've raised.
