Amen and Amen. If more Christians would really engage in the education of their children, sacrificing to either private or home school them, the public education system would collapse. But too many Christians are still enslaved to the two paycheck family, or the good lifestyle. I am waiting for my “lifestyle” enhancement when Jesus returns. Until then, I will do all that I can to see my children brought up “in the care and admonition of the Lord”.

We should stop looking to Christian churches for help in opening Christian schools.

There are too many collectivist government teachers, their spouses and family, and vendors to the government schools sitting in the pews. Few ministers have the courage to bite the hand putting money in the collection plate.

Conservatives, as part of a long range strategy, must find ways to provide Judeo Christian based and **conservative** private education to our nation's children. Here are some suggestions:

**privately funded education foundations that would award grants to individual teachers willing to open one-room schools in their homes.

** small one room schools in the homes of neighbors.

** homeschool co-ops

** tutoring centers

** schooling in existing day care centers

We should give up the idea of Prussian-modeled brick and mortar schools. They are expensive to build and maintain. We should return to models of education that educated our Founding Fathers ( private tutors, small one-room schools, small home-based academies).
