Agreed. The liberal indoctrination camps (public schools) are an abject failure. We’ve homeschooled all 4 of our children (two now at competitive universities and 2 still at home). Unless you have an exceptional child and a unbelievably close and deep relationship with your child, I wouldn’t send them there. You have no control over 7 hours of their day, 180 days a year. Is it any wonder they lose their morality. Many of the very teachers you claim to “know” and “trust” vehemently oppose the very traditional values held most conservative parents. Do you know where your child’s teacher stands on:
1. Life?
2. Role of Government
3. Taxes
4. Political party affiliation?
5. etc?
Geez, we “trust” way to much! These little one’s God gives us are our most prized possessions. Please remember that when you send them off to 7 hours of inculcation from Mr. Smith or Ms. Jones
It is much more than 7 hours a day, 180 days a year. Let me list the ways children are immerses in the government culture:
*Time riding the bus and waiting for the bus.
*Homework, textbooks, and all reading assignments.
*Friends made at school. Time on the Internet, text messaging, and cell phone with school indoctrinated friends.
*All government sponsored after school activities, theater, sports, and music events, and school dances.
The desire for fashions that effect the child every day of the year.
Eating habits picked up in school that effect the children for his entire life! ( Have you ever met a fat homeschooler who has been homeschooled from the beginning. I haven't.
A couple of phrases that I’ve heard that are great:
We’re suprised when we send our kids off to Caesar to get educated and discipled and they come back as Romans.
Don’t sacrifice your children on the pagan altar.
