In reply to Beth Bishop. Well said. Parenting requires time and commitment. And what a privilege to be able to have our children home and in a good atmosphere, teaching them not only things that will help them in life but also in their Christian walk.

For seven hours a day, 180 days a year, and for 13 years we build into the lives of our precious children in public education. Multiplied out, this results in well over 16,000 hours of schooling. Such an enormous investment is certainly worth evaluation. As the father of eight, the education and training of my kids is of great importance. I’m also a certified teacher and taught eighth grade science for a year at an academically recognized public middle school. Let me cut to the chase. I don’t think public schools are the best option for most Christian parents. A public education does not adequately equip the vast majority of kids in key areas of Christian development, and it does not leave enough time for the average parent to do so.

Unfortunately, education is treated as a basic need. We teach our children…go to school and get employment! This should not be the case!

That,s true. Parent take more responsibility for their kids education.
Parents need to guide actively until their children become mature.

SO TRUE! I totally agree.

Mom has been doing this with me and it’s SO much better than the rigid “stick with the book” way we did it when we first started out. Homeschool Moms are awesome. 🙂

I remember,that my sisters came home,after school,and ate supper,and did up the dishes,and then they would sit at the dining room table,and do their home work,for an hour,or so.Me.I looked at it different.The way I saw home work,was to do it in study hall.To me school was like a job.After 8 hours I punch the clock,and the rest of the day was mine.

Excellent! I decry thousands of wasted hours in a public school poring over tedious and boring textbooks that neither instilled a love of learning, a curiosity about life, nor the caring mentioned in CM’s writings!
