I think i

29、t is a wonderful phrase, reminding us, in effect, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day.

34、e. All the while the troubled mother was trying to persuade him to behave well, but failed. A little slap(巴掌) on him would have done the job, I thought.Teenagers also cause discipline(纪律) problems. As a teacher, I had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaura

36、d to cajole her, hoping the gentle persuasion would work wonders. It did not. Later I heard that she had run away from home again.The list goes on and on. Could it be that todays parents are softer and believe that they must not rod(棍棒惩罚) their children for fear of the bad result? Or do they actuall

37、y believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well naturally as they grow older? I beg to disagree. I believe it is the parents duty to discipline the children, even at a young age.My children who are now adults will prove the fact that I used the rod when I thought it necess

Protect KidsCAfter the coming of Europeans to the Americas, Indians were forced to change their way of life.
