No Parent Left Behind

About the Book

Parents of today cease to fulfill their moral obligations to their children. For this reason, children get their values and education elsewhere: from the media, from friends, books and schools. Lisa Calicchia challenges parents, guardians and teachers with her outcry, I Want to Teach... Not Raise Your Kids! For Calicchia, parents are accountable for their children’s values and character formation. However, she points out that in reality, schools are taking the task of raising them, which should not be the case. Through this eye-opening personal account, she calls out to thousands of parents to renew their parenting methods and mold children’s personalities to become the successful citizens we want them to be.
