Quite simply, I don’t believe children are qualified to be missionaries, and they are therefore more likely to be corrupted by the godless environment of the government schools than to effectively change that environment.

No flames here. Your argument is spot on. Parents who send their children to fight their battles on the front lines sound more palestinian than Christian.

Teacher pressure is bad...peer pressure is----WORSE!

you are so right!

I really don't know how a Christian parent can look at public schools and still claim that it is GOD and not their own fears and weaknesses that keeps their children in them!

Talk about stumbling blocks! A lot of parents would be better off with millstones tied around their feet and dumped in the lake!

Respectfully disagreeing here. (But the palestinian crack deserves no respect.)If God wanted us all to act, do, and speak the same he wouldn't have given us free will and brains to think. Kudos to those who have their children in private schools or that homeschool them. But I take another route.

My children and I discuss what they learn in school, and when it is something that I disagree with we discuss it and i give them my views on it. Once when I was considering homeschooling a girl spoke up and said, "They have to enter the real world at some point and time." That's a true statement and I'd just as soon they learn to deal with it now...with my world view interjected as a balance, of course.

Now you see, it's people like you, who make irrational, nasty comments like this that destroy healthy discourse on this subject.

Do you have a clue as to how many Godly, dedicated, praying parents you are utterly condemning with this absurd statement?

Unbelieveable!!
