Parents’
Directive Regarding the Education of Their Children
To
the administrative authorities of _________________________
School in
_______________
in the province of _____________________:
Regarding
our children, namely: ______________________________________
We as parents are desirous of the welfare of our
children in every aspect of their lives. We are
thankful for the positive opportunities for education
which are available in our country, and for teachers
in our schools who generously devote their time
to teaching the children and youth of our nation.
Conscious that parents are the first educators of
their children and that they continue to bear a
prime responsibility for their education, we are
communicating the following statement of wishes
regarding our children’s education. We request
that this statement be kept on file in the school
to which we have entrusted our children and that
it be brought to the attention of all those teachers
and other staff members who will be charged with
dealing with our children.. We respectfully issue
this statement as a legal directive to school authorities
and personnel.
Holding certain principles regarding the family
as the basis for our own teaching of our child or
children, we desire that those principles should
in no way be undermined. We hold as an ideal the
concept of the family as founded on the life-long
commitment of one man and one woman to one another
in marriage and on their commitment to the welfare
of their children. Nothing taught to our children
in the school should undermine respect for this
principle. The school should seek the welfare of
all children entrusted to it and to the best of
its ability protect all from harassment, but it
shall in no way teach our children that concepts
of the family diverging from our ideal are equal
or superior to that ideal.
We hold to the belief that human life is sacred
from conception to natural death, and nothing taught
to our child or children in the school should undermine
respect for this principle.
We as parents have signed two copies of this document
as an indication of our wishes. We request that
you return one copy with the signature of the school
principal as an indication of his or her having
received the document. We further request that any
principal succeeding the present one shall likewise
sign this document.
