It is exactly like raising the highschool entrance exams without teaching the kids any differently. The problem isn't the difficulty- the problem is they lack basic skills. And why wouldn't they? In the marriage department look what role models kids have. So many of the entertainers and athletes kids look up to are divorced. Their own parents are probably divorced. Who would teach these children not to be divorced? Those who can't stay married, will teach others? Yeah- that's going to work. If relationships were valued we would have better relationships. But they aren't, really. What mainstream culture really values are money, sex and beauty. These are our idols. Most movies, and songs and almost all advertising, is an offering at the temple of money, sex or beauty. This web site is dedicated to money. Our society talks a good game about education, and relationships, and morality- but these are simply not priorities- if they were, we would live in a different sort of society.
