Many years ago, I started homeschooling because of an article I had read by Cal Thomas. He called for a mass exodus of kids of Christians from the public school system. His point was until they (the school system) realized they were going to lose students because of their actions, nothing would ever change. Now a dozen years later, it seems that the Baptists are waking up to that fact.
We started home schooling when our oldest was ready for K, 13 yrs ago. That is all we have known...the private schools are just too expensive for us. We wanted our kids to be strong, grounded Christians and we also wanted them to learn what they’re supposed to learn.
