Trying to prevent neglected children and back-alley abortions, Margaret Sanger gave the moving speech, “The Children’s Era,” in 1925 to spread information on the benefits and need for birth control and women's rights. Margaret Sanger--activist, educator, writer, and nurse--opened the first birth control clinic in the United States and established organizations that evolved into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

In our life, we often have experiences that teach us how and what we want to be like when we grow up. Everyone has ups and downs from time to time that make one want to stop and other times make one want to run while individually they feel free.

There are several issues with this way of thinking though. The biggest problem with this is that parents have to go to work. Many people for eight hour days and do not have enough time in a day to spend an appropriate amount of time educating their children. Another situation to look at is that there are new discoveries and curriculum being developed each year and it is far easier for a teacher to implement this to students each year than to have a person pass on their learning from when they were a child-there would not be much
