crazy Texas AG...will now TEACH kids about CS...go figure...
So, we hear it every day...NCP should NEVER discuss those financial
issues with your child...that puts them in the middle and it's just not fair...even if it means that your child learns the TRUTH about it vs. what the CP is telling them...well, so, guess what? Here's another way to ensure that kids turn against their non-custodial parents, as of course, I'm sure it's all great curriculum based on the AGs view and the CPs view of child support... http://www.oag.state.tx.us/cs/ofi/index.shtml#ncp Parenting and Paternity Awareness (p.a.p.a.) p.a.p.a. is an innovative educational curriculum designed for secondary school students and young adults that deals with "rights, responsibilities, and realities of parenting." Key themes in the curriculum focus on the importance of father involvement, the value of paternity establishment, the legal realities of child support, the financial and emotional challenges of single parenting, the benefits of both parents being involved in a child's life, healthy relationship skills, and relationship violence prevention. The Office of the Attorney General is offering the 2008 edition of the 14-session curriculum and training at no charge to teachers, school counselors, school nurses, teen parent program staff, and parent educators in community-based programs. The p.a.p.a. curriculum is a method by which school districts can comply with state law passed in the 80th Legislature requiring high school health to include a parenting and paternity awareness curriculum. The OAG is coordinating with TEA and Regional Education Service Centers to train teachers, nurses and counselors. Community-based organizations and larger school districts who wish to schedule training directly with the OAG can complete this form and e-mail it to OAG employee Kate Wiseheart.

crazy Texas AG...will now TEACH kids about CS...go figure...
A quick look on this Texas web site for Parenting and Paternity
Awareness reveals nothing about such factors as (1) the proportion of single parent families that are established as a result of unilateral action by the mother (either through divorce or through her ability to decide whether a child is born); or (2) the continuing glass ceiling on paternal custody. If I am correct about this, then this program -- like all programs that are supposed to enhance participation by fathers -- are primarily about getting the fathers to do things that are helpful to mothers. They do nothing to warn young men about the way in which family law is grotesquely biased against them. I'm afraid that angle can come only from local fathers' groups. However, so far as I know none of these groups give any attention to educating young men about the current situation. "whatamess" wrote in message ...
