"[We could institute] a National Family Day. This would be celebrated privately in the family homes. It would be a day that the parents and children could enjoy doing something as a family. This would encourage communication between the members. It would also allow the family to talk about ways to improve their time spent together and their feelings about the family."
Jennifer Friday, Newell-Fonda High, Newell, Iowa

"I also think it would be a good idea to have speakers go to schools or somewhere where parents can be spoken to about how to make their children more responsible. It wouldn't be something that would tell parents how to raise their kids, but it would give suggestions on how to make their children more responsible."
Ben Nesheim, Newell-Fonda High School, Newell, Iowa

"I feel schools should not force their students to participate in Community Service project’s After all, if something is mandatory, you are not a volunteer."
Jamie Adams, Newell-Fonda High School, Newell, Iowa
