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.
“Anyway....HS’ing was right for us.”
Yeah. It is not right for the 80 to 90% of children of Christian families who leave public school as converted humanists.
It really does not matter economically how successful one’s children are, if they turn out to have a humanistic worldview.
My ex-inlaws, conservative R Catholics and themselves very wealthy, have 3 intelligent children who all went to parochial schools and then university to university. All 3 voted for Bernie.
It happens all the time. Lots of co-ops out there. Classical Conversations is one that is really good.
Not sure where you get your "numbers" from.....
Have a good day.
I worked in a church years ago and there was a deacon and wife who had many foster children. He turned out to be a pedophile. He is still serving time for the multiple children he molested. A few years after I left, they hired a pastor when the senior pastor went elsewhere and THAT guy ended up involved with some sort of scandal involving a young woman - at least not a child - but still!
I agree with you. Predators will always gravitate to any sort of position or situation where they might be able to gain ground. Sadly, many Christians are very naive about this. These predators can talk a good game and appear to be decent when they are nothing of the kind.
“Not sure where you get your “numbers” from.....

The Barna surveys. Or go look up the Exodus project with the Southern Baptist Convention. Or read this book:

And the fact that in disproportion to the % Christians in society, probably half the population under 30 thinks that socialism or communism are OK. Socialism and communism are the political expression of humanism.
If you like government run schools, you sure are going to love government run health care.
Wolves in sheep clothing. Sadly, most parents, and even most elders of a church are not as aware of the dangers or too blind.
Children should be priority one when it comes to protection, yet in our society, even with the supposed awareness, children are often times still in the way of the adults fun.
Well said.
