I agree too but as I learned forty years ago sending your kids to a Christian school isn’t necessarily a panacea either.
‘Educators’ are educators and it is a profession that attracts those who ‘want to make a difference’. So some of the same cultural rot can occur in religious schools as well.
The difference is that schools where the parents are paying a major part of the tab are more responsive to the wishes and deands of parents.
You just can’t park your kids in any school and expect that things will be all right.
Agreed.
I homeschool my 6th grader, but my 9th grader goes to a private (Baptist) high school. He gets plenty of liberal indoctrination there, by both his Bible and History teachers.
“Christian school isn’t necessarily a panacea either.”
Many Christian parents are shocked to find that children attending Christian schools are just as worldly as secular peers—often worse in some regards. Most Christian schools are completely oblivious to the Devil traipsing their halls with the latest iPhone and a veneer of social respectability.
The entire concept of school as a social construct is dead. Children today don’t look to any authority for moral (or any other) instruction. The vast majority of American children are completely peer dependent and rely on “social networking” for instruction. The ludicrous term belies the fact that children have become asocial, isolated, and rabidly conditioned against independent thought.
Most adults have no idea how far the social impact has progressed, or regressed, depending on your viewpoint. Many adults look around and see immorality as the primary problem with the younger generation, but amorality is the foundation their entire worldview.
“The Devil’s greatest accomplishment was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”
Yes. Teachers go to universties and teaching colleges, which were deeply infiltrated by Frankfurt School social Marxism adherents decades ago. Those are indoctrination centers for teachers. So, a different wrapper can hold the same poor contents.
You are right. Many private schools are nominally Christian. Today institutional schools k-12 are entirely unnecessary. Today the educational resources exist to provide a far better education at a trivial cost. If a parent actually cares about his children, he’ll figure it out. The problem is that most “conservative” parents love government welfare education and don’t want to be responsible for how their children are educated. As for Christian schools, ACCS schools are excellent. In general, though, you need to be very careful about Christian schools because they are often nothing other than government school “lite”.
