Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of<br />
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral<br />
speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign<br />
language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute<br />
have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very<br />
picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.<br />

For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming<br />
back to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But<br />
all of them have something in commom. They spend part of each day alone. They are called<br />
“latchkey children”. They are children who look after themselves while their parents work.<br />
And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.<br />
Lynette Long was once the principle of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school<br />
rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I<br />
was constantly telling them to put the keys inside the shirts. There were so many keys; it never<br />
came to my mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned that they were house keys.<br />
She and her husband began talking to the children who had keys. They learned of the<br />
effect working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear was the biggest<br />
problem faced by children at home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs talked to<br />
reported being frightened. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.<br />
