Train up a child in the way he should go,And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverb 22:6
Plain and simple. If a Christian is true to their faith, by putting their faith in God and Only God through Christ, then God will lead them to do what is right,. and the right thing to do is to Homeschool. In 99% of the World, the government's education system is anti-Christian. So why are you sending your child to be indoctrinated against you and your GOD? I specifically blame pastors who fail to educate the flock as to the importance of homeschooling.
Yet as a response, many will say to me,
Not every person, Christian or not, has the education themselves to properly home school.
Thus the reason the church needs to join together by bringing in members who are educated in the subject matter of the day, hour, or Month. Homeschooling does NOT need to be a difficult, nor cumbersome task. Put faith in GOD, and I promise that He will be faithful to those who are truly faithful to Him. In so doing, he will open the path needed to do so For anyone looking into, but are finding it difficult, check out this site. They give a good review on different packages and their curriculum ( How Do I Homeschool ).
As for the accusation that by doing so you will shelter them from the World as though you are living on an island? Well, it didn’t hurt Tim Tebow. He is a well rounded, very smart, and a very athletic outgoing person. I personally believe the fear put into Christians that they will be harming their children by sheltering them from the World is a lie born in the pit of HELL!
Yet, even so. I believe that separating them from the World at time when their mind are an empty bucket full of mush, as a good thing. What are we sheltering them from? Evil? Well that is a good thing, because back in 2010, Obama turned elementary schools in gay recruitment centers.
When their mind is still empty is when we should be filling it with truths, not anti-Christian junk. We force them to go to a heathen indoctrination center for kindergarten 4 hours a day 5 days a week. Yet we might force them to sit through one hour of Sunday school a week.
Maybe we should do more sheltering and less exposing. Then our children will not be turning against God and their parents after 16 years of K-College indoctrination. After all, the NEA could care less bout the education of children in America, and they are the one's in complete control of it.
I could go on and on about the reasons why every child, especially children of Christian parents, should be homeschooled. Here are 10 of them from a list of 100 I found at the Foundation for Economic Education. Check out their site, and you will see the other 90 reasons. Every reason they list has an article linkled to it for more information.
ARTH pingy.
If you have kids, find a way to homeschool or find a good Christian school. We had sent our kids to Christian school until they were in 6th and 7th grades, and then the school closed. We decided to transfer them to public school. They have to learn to deal with the “world” eventually, right? Well, our oldest graduated with her Christian values intact, but our youngest absorbed the liberal teaching of the public school and has become a hard-core anti-Christian leftist. If we could do it all over again, we would homeschool.
Homeschooling works only if a family can afford one or both parents to stay home and do it. Most cannot, therefore we need to fix our public and private schools.
You make my point. It’s a lie born in hell that children need to be well rounded with crap from the World.
I know a couple who, due to covid and uncertainty of covid school plans this year, decided to go ahead and home school. It is going REALLY WELL. Their kids are thriving, learning more, finishing up their lessons early, taking awesome field trips with the parents, etc. The kids are extremely smart. Both parents are well educated, so they do have that particular advantage. Parents say they plan to stick with homeschooling for at least another year after this one.
Work with the church. That is why I stated in my first paragraph that pastors are guilty of not helping.
In a congregation of 200 people, you could not find a math person, and English person etc. etc. etc? If the congregation worked together, it would be free, or at least affordable with every one chipping in. Many congregations number in the thousands. I know some qualified intelligent people could step up.
Hell, some churches spend tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands every year to school foreign children through missionaries while their own children get indoctrinated with anti-Christian lies
Now that is a testimony my hearts leaps for joy over.
It can and should be done.
Good point.
Work with the church. Sure, as Catholics our local Catholic schools will cost us $15-20,000 per year, per student. And their reputation is mixed and okay for minimal education but not for the brighter over-achievers.
We homeschooled our oldest through high school and our youngest to 10th grade when the wife took a job and we moved to the central coast of California. Public school ruined our youngest for his last two years of high school, but at nearly 21-years-old, he’s starting a return trip back.
If we could do it all over again, we’d finish homeschooling our youngest through high school.
UMMM.. I am speaking home school, not a Christian school ran by the church.
At home schools where teachers from the church who are qualified doing the Christian duty of going around teaching children at home. Maybe has a few families meet together with their children in a home.
Many Christians churches run by the school more for the money than for the education, because then they hire teachers who are not always Christians with the same beliefs as the congregation. Thus I state HOME school, with roaming teachers like pastors used to do in the old days of the West, They were circuit pastors, like circuit judges.
I think we MUST fix the public schools, because there will always be a need for them. The problem is that I’m not sure we can fix them. The universities are completely infected with leftist and secular garbage. And, there are many parents who can barely read and write themselves.
I have many friends who have homeschooled. If I gave you the scorecard, it’s about 60/40 in favor of the kids remaining in Christ. I think people underestimate the Enemy. Kids can be homeschooled and go off to university and get infected with the lies. One of my friends is suffering terribly because two of her children have gone “woke,” to put it in the vernacular. As for Christ, well, it’s the social justice and emergent church stuff. In other words: apostate.
I agree with that.
I said this awhile ago. I think groups of families AND the churches need to start doing exactly what you said. The problem is that there are issues with that. Will the “teachers” be background checked and vetted? Etc. Etc. I’ve seen abuse in the church, too. The predators always go to where the kids are - Sunday School, coaching, teaching, etc.
Imagine if good Christian teachers started doing things like those made services where ladies hire themselves out to clean houses.
One teacher could hire herself out to do classes at set hours for different parents to teach the children and then go to another home and do the same. The price for each parent would be minimal, and since the teacher would be roaming from home to home teaching the same subject that teacher could make a good penny.
Just think of all those retired teachers who still believe in God, and teaching not indoctrination. Change our thinking, We need to think outside the box, if we are to defeat the Unions who control the education.
To help the congregation can take tithes to help. If it saved the children, especially Christian children of the future, I would donate extra to the church every Sunday to help pay for the circuit teachers, to help out the parents who are on tight budgets.
It would be worth it to help save the future, and the souls of those dear children being fed daily into the sadistic homosexual controlled school system.
Interesting to see Israel so low.
If one of us stays home and actually sees to our kids getting educated, how am I supposed to afford the nice, new, truck, you idiot?
I believe the strength of a Child’s faith as they grow up, depends upon the strictness of the parents adherence is to the Scripttures.
If they are getting sloppy agape, then their hearts will be led away easily once they get to College.
