Summary: Now new hope for First time or Part-time home school parents who  want to "put a hedge of protection around their child's heart" while attending  public school by requiring them to also learn the principles contained in the new,  improved and updated "New England Primer, 1996." Parents can easily influence their "teenagers(to be) twelve-and-a-half times more likely to remain virgins."
