Entrusted to Teach: Classical Education Around the World

Some families live under the impossible burden — or perhaps the neglect­ful default — of allowing children to choose for themselves. This practice extends to the foods they will eat, the manner in which they will spend leisure time, and what they will believe to be true.

This approach, he says, has swept around the globe, leaving in its wake...

      Many researchers and commentators alike have noted in recent years that sexual activity is declining in American young people, particularly teens and young adults. For many, this is a good thing, as it likely also results in reduced sexual infection and teen pregnancy rates.

From being an important and even crucial component of a successful life, marriage is increas­ingly seen as one option among many.
