Challenges Quotes
-
As Putnam demonstrates, poorer, less-educated parents tend to believe that their primary task is getting their children to obey, as opposed to better-educated parents, who emphasize helping their children understand why they ought to obey a given rule.

A period romance film with elements of horror. That was successful, because I feel like Coppola's DRACULA was one or the other. You know?
