I am very sad when I read or hear the above. Why?
She is from Laos and not a native English speaker. She went to a gov’t run Chinese school where she didn’t learn much up until about our 8th grade.
The Lord does not give a commandment without provide a means to fulfill it.
And...No education whatsoever is better than being taught to think and reason godlessly. All government owned and run K-12 schools are godless in their worldview...by LAW! The children **will** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the godless classroom. How could it be otherwise?
Please remember that illiteracy and innumeracy can be fixed a eternally lost soul can not.
From Deuterotomy:
4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one![b] 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
We had a Latino woman in our homeschool group several years ago. She was in the process of learning English (she had already learned Portuguese while her family was living in Brazil; she is a native Spanish speaker) and needed help teaching her kids English grammar. One of our mom’s tutored her son in grammar while she stepped in and helped our group’s Spanish class. It was very beneficial for everyone involved.
