“The parents, because the teachers teach it, but the parents embed the principles in the child.”

— Rachel Austin, KU student, Topeka

“The parents. They support the children, and if they’re going to get help, they won’t get help anywhere else.”

— Megan Austin, 13 years old, Stamford, Conn.

“I would say it’s a mix of everyone. At school the teachers and administrators teach. At home the parents are responsible for that.”

— Jodi Hansen, speech language pathologist, McPherson

“The parents. They have control over everything a student does. … At home parents encourage students to get involved in school and cause them to think school is a good thing.”

— Laurie Shelton, KU graduate student, Lawrence
