But the worst aspect of this jobs program is that it ignores God, who is the true and proper object of education. What children receive in government schools is schooling, not education.
The purpose of life is to know, love and serve God in this life and to be happy forever with him in the next. Education which claims "to prepare children for life" must then center on the final end of human life, who is God.
Anything else is just training. And, in fact, this is what we have. It's no accident that the methodology of behavioral psychology dominates teacher/student training.
I totally agree. IMHO the only way this will ever change is via social/cultural pressure. This must come from Christian/church leadership. While I am a Methodist I believe Southern Baptist made a move in the right direction. Hence my belief that "you do not love your children enough if you send them to public school". Money, income, tax allowances are no longer an issue. The issue is do I want my child educated by Christian conservatives or indoctrinated by liberal socialists.
