19 From 2010 to 2019 — the first nine years of Generation Alpha births — the United States saw educational attainment improve among adults between the ages of 25 and 34. During this time frame, adults grew more likely to hold an associate (8% to 9%), bachelor’s (22% to 26%) or graduate (9% to 11%) degree as their highest level of educational attainment. Not surprisingly, the share of adults who didn’t graduate from high school (13% to 8%) and only graduated from high school (48% to 46%) fell during this same time frame.

23 Between 2000 and 2010, the Hispanic population grew by 43 percent, rising from 35.3 million in 2000 to 50.5 million in 2010, accounting for more than half of the 27.3 million increase in the total U.S. population. The Asian alone population grew faster than any other major race group between 2000 and 2010, also increasing by 43 percent, from 10.2 million in 2000 to 14.7 million in 2010. https://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/2010_census/cb11-cn125.html.

30 Bedtime Use of Technology and Associated Sleep Problems in Children “Hours of television time has been linked with poor sleep quantity and quality as well. A study of children ages 4 to 11 found that increased screen time was associated with increased sleep anxiety, increased night waking, and increased total sleep disturbance.9 Studies of pediatric populations have also shown that watching evening television resulted in significantly shorter total sleep duration.” National Library of Medicine. October, 2017. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5669315/#:~:text=A%20study%20of%20children%20ages,and%20increased%20total%20sleep%20disturbance.&text=Studies%20of%20pediatric%20populations%20have,significantly%20shorter%20total%20sleep%20duration.
31 Further, research shows that children, preteens, and teenagers are using massive amounts of media and those with more screen time have been shown to have increased obesity, reduced physical activity, and decreased health. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4338000/#:~:text=Further%2C%20research%20shows%20that%20children,physical%20activity%2C%20and%20decreased%20health.

to Dallas Theological Seminary, May 2005.
55 Jerry Lawrence, 144-5. Barna found a similar result. “Our national surveys have shown that while 4 out of 5 parents (85 percent) believe that they have the primary responsibility for the moral and spiritual development of their children, more than two out of three of them abdicate that responsibility to the church. Their virtual abandonment of leading their children spiritually is evident in how infrequently they engage in faith-oriented activities with their young ones... In short, most families do not have a genuine spiritual life together . . . how do parents reconcile the apparent contradiction between saying that they have the primary responsibility for the spiritual development of their children and their practice of dropping off the kids for others to provide virtually all of the spiritual instruction that their children receive? By believing that because they are responsible and yet personally incapable of meeting their children’s spiritual needs, the best thing they can do is to seek the help of others who are more skilled in spiritual matters. Based on their upbringing and the prevailing cultural assumptions, they believe that their church is the best provider of spiritual nurturing for their kids.”
