“Do not even try to convince anyone that your ability to sit in a church an hour a week and read your bible at bible study makes you qualified to teach the required school subjects to the expected standards.”
It would just so happen that I have seen a situation as you described. Yes they failed at trying to teach and had to quit. I will agree the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I will agree their best bet would have been to send their child to a private Christian school that had certified teachers. Due to the situation however this was not an option. Looking back now I think the best bet would have been what madison10 suggested and that is send the boys to military school.
st. eged thing about the Bible is, our schools were set up to teach the it in the early days. Now it is banned and the schools are not even teaching them to read much less read the Bible.
My wife is a teacher and our son goes to a private catholic high school. I see the teachers side, have made my decision as a parent, and also listen to my wife who often ends up with home school failures. This is a complicated question but whom ever teaches these kids has to be able to do the job. If they have to learn the material themselves to get it done so be it. Learn it and teach it. They can not effectively teach what they don’t know and you can not sit down and learn all of this at the same time you are trying to teach it.
We need to keep the goal of well educated children first. Social/religious aspects of their growth should be left to the parents. We need some new answers.
