There was a study a few years back. Kids from involved, Evangelical, church-going families who went to public or private school stopped practicing their faith in college at a rate of something over 85%.
Homeschooled kids from the same families? Kept their faith, something like 95% of them.
Maybe those other kids will come back after college. I know some do. But those odds are just terrible. Even if I didn’t think I could educate my daughter better than some ed school grads, or that the government schools are a cesspool, or that I love her quirky little three-year-old personality and the idea of her going and being conformed to everyone else around her didn’t sicken me, those odds mean she’ll enter an institutional school over my dead body. My husband’s dead body. The dead bodies of both our sets of parents and a very large number of aunts and uncles.
Make the sacrifices. It’s worth it. My parents did and I’m more appreciative every day.

If this is true, then alternative schools other than homeschooling don’t have much to offer to the Faithful.
If this is the case, only homeschooling will do.
Remember ...
Nobody can love your children like you.
Nobody knows your children better than you.
Nobody can reach your children like you.
Nobody can teach your children better than you.
But first and foremost, get your children *OUT* of the government school collective!
