metmom, sitetest, and marron, Do comments like these do the cause of home schooling more harm or more good?There are too many government school employees sitting in the pews, as well as the vendors to the schools (and their employees) and all those who have a relative working for the schools. Big K-12 education is big business and few ministers are willing to bite the hand putting money into the collection plate.

By the way, I wonder how many minsters have spouses that are teachers for the godless government owned and run indoctrination camps?

Actually, I see a number of churches doing this in our area, and others not tied to a specific church but church-oriented. The latter has had a fair amount of help from various churches.

The interesting thing I see is that people who are unchurched are pulled into orbit, they like a lot of people are looking for an alternative to the disaster that is the public school system. You want to evangelize your town? Start a K-12. The evangelization is indirect but sometimes thats the most effective kind. Build the world you want to live in and people will come.

The point is first, that there is no need for defeatism. God is good. Pray, make a plan, and go forward. Don’t wait for the government to clean up its act, build it yourself. And the second point is that we don’t really have a choice. The alternative becomes clearer by the day that giving our children to the public schools for the formative years of their lives is to undercut everything we are trying to do.

If you are serious, public school is increasingly not a choice anymore. Home school, or look for a parochial school or a church-friendly private school. Grandparents may have to help.
