Church school, home schooling or private school is the only way to educate our children.
Why? Because the public school system in America is a 'Federally mandated..., tax payer funded..., union controlled... jobs program' with education as a 'by-product'. I suppose it is a great place to work if you are a teacher or janitor. Great pay, great benefits, great retirement but education of children is NOT the number one goal.
Simply put... you don't love your children enough if you send them to public school.
Church school, home schooling or private school is the only way to educate our children.
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.
