As a practicing Catholic, I’ve tried to follow the Ten Commandments my entire life and model them for my children and grandchildren. As a retired teacher, I know that posting them on the wall of a classroom will not greatly affect student behavior when our children see adults, especially those who are put on a pedestal in our society, continually violate those commandments with no contrition for their failings.
All children do learn that actions speak louder than words.
