“Just as we teach our children how to ride a bike, we need to teach them how to navigate social media and make the right moves that will help them. The physical world is similar to the virtual world in many cases. It's about being aware. We can prevent many debacles if we're educated.” IfsWorldNeedsChildrenHelpingMovingSocialTeachCasesMediaOur ChildrenSocial MediaEducatedBikeNavigateVirtual WorldDebacles Author:Amy Jo Martin
“Censors can make a case for zero tolerance in language. They can make the argument that since we don't allow our children to use that language in schools, we also shouldn't give them stories in which it is used.” GivingChildrenStoriesUseSchoolUsedLanguageCasesArgumentOur ChildrenToleranceZeroZero Tolerance Author:Chris Crutcher
“I never hear anything about education. Education - I guess it's just not sexy enough. And everybody claims to love their children and our children are the most important thing, but if that's the case, how come we never hear more about education as an election issue?” IfsChildrenImportantEnoughCasesIssuesClaimsOur ChildrenElectionImportant ThingsSexy Author:Mitch Albom
“In fiction, it's as if you enter a dream world that you created, but your characters have their own free will. They don't do what you want them to do - they get into trouble, do drugs, fight over petty things, and do outrageous things that you wouldn't want your children to do. In other words, you can only provide the background, the seeds - in my case the background of the Vietnamese refugee.” IfsWorldWantChildrenCharacterDreamFightingFictionCasesTroubleDrugOur ChildrenSeedsWhat You WantBackgroundsYour ChildrenFree WillRefugeePettyOutrageousVietnameseDream WorldVietnamese Refugees Author:Andrew Lam
“The fight for justice against corruption is never easy. It never has been and never will be. It exacts a toll on our self, our families, our friends, and especially our children.

“The future is unwritten. there are best case scenarios. There are worst-case scenarios. both of them are great fun to write about if you' re a science fiction novelist, but neither of them ever happens in the real world. What happens in the real world is always a sideways-case scenario.

“Every single case of inherited defect, every malformed child, every congenitally tainted human being brought into this world is of infinite importance to that poor individual; but it is of scarcely less importance to the rest of us and to all of our children who must pay in one way or another for these biological and racial mistakes.” WorldWayHumansChildrenIndividualHuman BeingsPoorPayMistakeCasesThis WorldImportanceInfiniteOur ChildrenOne WayDefectsEugenicsEuthanasiaTainted Book:The Pivot of Civilization Source: The Pivot of Civilization
“Sara Scherr and Jeff McNeely have given us a thoughtful, sensible book about a topic of great importance to the world. There is no food security, no poverty reduction, no environmental sustainability without transforming our agricultural practices.

It should be required reading for all concerned with agriculture, the environment, food security or just the future of our children.” WorldShouldWellsChildrenBookReadingGivenPovertyPracticeCasesEnvironmentSecurityConcernedImportanceOur ChildrenEnvironmentalThoughtfulSensibleSustainabilityAgricultureTopicsTransformingReductionFood SecurityBest PracticesEnvironmental SustainabilityPoverty Reduction Author:Ismail Serageldin
