Dr. Leonard Sax, in his book, The Collapse of Parenting, wrote: “We now live in a culture in which kids value the opinion of same aged peers more than they value the opinion of their parents, a culture in which the authority of the parents has declined not only in the eyes of the children, but also in the eyes of the parents themselves.” In the 15th Chapter of St. Matthew’s Gospel, Our Lord says, “If a blind person leads a blind person, both will fall into a pit.” Welcome to episode nine of the St. Thomas More Academy podcast. Today, Dr. Jake Noland, our STMA Dean of Faculty and Athletic Director, joins our Headmaster, Deacon Brad Watkins, for a conversation about peer orientation. As always, we thank you for this download and taking the time to listen. We hope this episode proves helpful. We only ask in return that you pray for our entire school community and our mission.
