Familylight sm uses this space to recommend reading material of interest to people who care about kids.  At least initially, we will emphasize quality contributions, even if controversial, not likely to be found in the mainstream.  We divide these recommendations into non-fiction (including but not limited to research), fiction, and poetry.  Usually our recommendation will include a link either to the publication itself or a place to purchase it but we are open to featuring previously unpublished items that will be placed right here. 

Our readers will probably not be surprised by the promotion of works of non-fiction that specifically address the topics we address on this website.  Truth is sometimes best expressed in poetry and fiction.  We will call attention to fiction -- especially obscure fiction and perhaps controversial fiction -- that gives insight into what FamilyLight sm cares about.  We will do likewise with poetry

"Against All Odds"

Feedback is invited. We will publish feedback in good taste, consistent with our standards.  Email FamilyLightResponse@yahoo.com

Disclaimer: No  program review, no matter how positive, is a blanket endorsement. No criticism is a blanket condemnation.  When we express our level of confidence in a school or program, that is our subjective opinion with which others might reasonably disagree.  When we assert something as fact, we have done our best to be accurate, but we cannot guarantee that all of our information is accurate and up to date. When we address compliance with our guidelines, you need to remember that these are only OUR guidelines -- not guidelines from an official source.  We have also set the bar very high, and do not expect any school or program to be in total compliance.  It is not appropriate to draw a conclusion of impropriety (or even failure to live up to conventional wisdom) from our lack of confidence in a school or program or from less than perfect conformity to our guidelines.  Some will say we expect too much. Readers are responsible for verifying accuracy of information supplied here prior to acting upon it. We are not responsible for inaccuracies.
