Really doesn't apply to my family situation here... the kids have been 'out of the nest' for nearly 20 years... but I'd just like to state once again for ALL Christian parents to be AWARE and WARY of what is being taught in the Public School System. The administrators, athiests and activists ( all names used interchangably ) have created an environment in schools that disallows any religious mention. They teach the doctrines of the liberal left and have taken God out of the classroom.
If I had to do it all over again, my kids would have gone to non-denominational Christian schools, but those were few and far between back in those days. I say non-denominational, because even some denominational schools, over the past century or so, have taught false doctrine. |

I wish I had never grown up in public schools. I remember saying prayer every morning, though. There is too much temptation and exposure to sin in the public school for a young, growing mind. It's like forcing a diabetic to work in a candy store. I am also very much against competition in any form because it is not healthy, emotionally. Kids need to focus, happily and peacefully on the right stuff! |

We are going to try Homeschooling but we are a little nervous. We are already super busy, and after the twins we'll have a home with 5 kids under 6 yrs old. Michael the oldest will be starting school this September.
My wife and I both went to public schools, I didn't mind it much. But we've done a lot of research and we are going to go with Homeschooling. |

Gsusfrk, I am glad you are homeschooling; public schools are worse than ever. Look into unschooling which is a more relaxed way of teaching. Just a reminder~ Many inventors and famous writers and geniuses did best with what we refer to as the unschooling method now. |

My stepdaughter Homeschools her children, she has been doing this sence they've been old enough to school. They range from 5yrs to 12yrs, she has 4 and she really enjoys it. The public schools have truly changed and does not seem for the better.

This is a very good point! All of my life up until high school, *I have been in public school. In high school, my parents sent me to a private christian school because the local public high school was slipping in academics. I have found that kids can be mean in public and private schools (even christian). However, I can honestly say that private is a better environment than public . As for homeschooling, I'm not against it but I do think that children should get away from the house and socialize with other children. Although, homeschooling may be better for some children. I know this little girl that goes to my church and she appears to be autistic. At age 11, she plays with kids who are much younger and she doesn't seem to have much in common with other girls her age. Her mother home schools her, which is probably for the best. Knowing how cruel kids can be, I can not imagine how much kids would make fun of her. God willingly, when I have children, I will probably end up putting them in a private christian school. If I cannot afford it, I will put them in a decent public school. If I have a special needs child, I will home school and hire a professional helper. |
