The Prussian school system of Germany was reviled by Pastor Bonhoeffer’s mother -—breaking the souls of the children—so she made sure her children were never in the “System” until after 7 years or 8 years of age where their worldview was sound (Belief in God). She didn’t want her values that she wanted in her children to be erased in those fragile earlier years where time away from parents destroys, not only parental bonds and values, but, IQ and Faith in a Higher Power than the State. All her children were brilliant.

I am reminded what Jesus said on the teaching of children:

“As for whoever causes these little ones who believe in me to trip and fall into sin, it would be better for them to have a huge stone hung around their necks and be drowned in the bottom of the lake.
