It goes further than just the children.

Personally, I can’t see how a Christian teacher can justify working in a government school.

If they were true to their faith they would be fired within a day or two.

Christian teachers have two problems:

1) If they try to sneak in some Christianity through their example ( or indirectly through their teaching), they are teaching children that Christians are sneaky.

2) If they haven’t been fired already, the example of their Christianity is a very poor one, indeed!

So?....Will the work of true missionaries be harder or easier when these students are adults? Answer: It will be **lot** harder, because the true missionary must convince this adult that Christians are not sneaky hypocrites.

Yes, I agree entirely!

I especially appreciate the statement,

“If they haven’t been fired already, the example of their Christianity is a very poor one, indeed!”
