Permission Slips

Permission SlipsPermission Slips portrays a mosaic of teenage chaos, confusion and sexual anarchy, set in a suburban high school. A 9th grade “good girl,” Alison Gepner (who wants to be seen as an edgy individualist) pursues her search for meaning amidst a culture that seems to know the price of everything and the value of nothing. The adult world around her seems to be a mess, holding on by its fingertips to the illusion of control while trying its hardest to avoid looking at the emptiness at its core. Is love just another hypocritical joke? Written by high school student assistance counselor and parent Jerry Sander. Click here for more information or to order.

Plain Talk About Spanking

Parents and Teachers Against Violence in Education (PTAVE) offers this publication for the benefit of children everywhere. The ideas that you will read here are not new. There have always been wise and perceptive people in every civilized culture who have practiced and advocated violence-free interactions with children. In these few pages we have attempted to summarize their message and offer it once again.
