You're listening to Family Talk, the radio broadcasting division of the James Dobson Family Institute.

I am that James Dobson, and I'm so pleased that you've joined us today. Well, welcome back to Family Talk.

I'm Roger Marsh.

Now, we know that our education system is far from perfect here in this country,

and whether kids are in public schools or private schools or homeschooled,

the ultimate goal in education is to give new generations of

citizens the chance to succeed, survive, and hopefully improve our world.

Listen to this quote from Abigail Adams, the wife of the second president of the United States.

She once said, learning is not attained by chance.

It must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence. Now Abigail Adams never had a formal education,

but she loved to read and that proved to develop her intelligence

and her love of learning which served her well as First Lady.

Abigail Adams truly understood that there is real value in an education.

Now today here on Family Talk, we're going to hear the conclusion of a classic program featuring Dr. James Dobson and his guest

author Cynthia Tobias. She's a best-selling author, speaker, and a noted authority on

educational philosophy. Cynthia Tobias has studied learning styles for more than 30 years in her private practice

and she also served as a high school teacher as well.

We'll also hear Dr Dobson along with Cynthia Tobias answer questions from an in-studio

audience about how to motivate a child and also take a look at the church's

educational responsibilities and the concerns about public schools.

So now let's join Dr. James Dobson and his guest Cynthia Tobias right now on Family Talk.

Let's turn now talk.
