“At what point do parents start telling their children you need the diploma, or degree but you don’t need to believe or respect the teacher?”
That moment comes when first the child questions the teacher and has a valid question. The one person responsible for the child’s education is, was, and always will be the child. Parents and teachers, even the libraries and Internet are all resources.
If the child has been properly introduced to the core beliefs of America by the parents, and if the parents teach the child to go to the actual resource rather than blindly accept “authority”, that child will be able to actualize its potential despite socialism impaired teachers.
I'm with you!
That moment came in jr high for my oldest and in high school for my youngest. Parents have to make sure their kids know they "have their backs" as long as it's not behavior, but reasonable intellectual questioning.
I would only disagree with the child being responsible...the parent is the responsible party.
Proverbs 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
