What a pathetic perversion of the intent of those verses. They say NOTHING about children being away during for schools. Not one word is supportive of your argument.

The book of Proverbs speaks directly to the situation. It speaks about how the mother and father are to raise their children. It speaks about how the children are to obey their mothers and fathers and look to them for instruction. It speaks about how children who are removed from the influence of the mother and father will be led astray. It speaks about how "Wisdom" is crying aloud in the streets and nobody will listen.

I would suggest that you read the book of Proverbs a little more closely before making such rash statements.

Of course schooling outside the home does not change any of those admonitions to parents. Where do you get the idea that children so educated don't look to the parents for instruction? Mine always have. Or that parents abandon all influence over such children? How silly.

It takes only a cursory glance at the verses to know that you are distorting them tremendously as to their meaning. They are NOT social prescriptions but advice to parents regarding their PERSONAL interactions with their children. Proverbs and Psalms are my favorites in the Bible and I have read them many times.

There is nothing "rash" in pointing out that you are distorting the meaning of those verses. What is "rash" is the statement that Proverbs is applicable to education in the 21st century any more than it is to Nuclear Physics.
