Unfortunately my kids go to a public school.

Don't dog your kids, all public schools are not bad.

There are simply a few nasty internet harridans hereabout that would try to make you think so.

Mostly they make their kids look good by putting down other's kids.

Sad, really.

You and I have had this conversation before. You know I am not a rabid homeschooler and believe that one must to the best with one’s children.

However, that poster seems to indicate that if he were the custodial parent he would homeschool. It’s sad that the choice is not his.

This is one of the bad ones or at least one that believes in the current, anything goes kind of thinking. They have a Oprah way of thinking. Don’t know how many others are out there like this one.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Schools can only teach from two possible worldviews: godless and God-centered. Both are very different from the other and both have **profound** NON-neutral religiously, political, and cultural consequences!

Government schools must by law teach everything from a god-less point of view. Children for nearly all of the day are forbidden to practice or speak or publish anything about their religious faith. This teaches children to compartmentalize their faith. It also teaches them another profoundly non-neutral lesson. It communicates to the child that faith is somehow shameful and needs to be hidden like a bathroom activity.

The above applies to **all** government schools: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
