Amazing
I have been enjoying my bloggy break. I'm about to get my head above water, but I'm still in need of more time away. I have been reading my favorites, and found this quote today that I cannot help but post. My husband is at a home school conference this weekend. He called today to tell me about an awesome session he was in with Voddie Baucham. Of course, I recognized that name so started to dig around the web to find out what I had read about him before. I found this quote (regarding public schools) and it's gonna stay with me for a while so I thought I'd share it with you. What's your response?
I have asked before, and I will ask again, how far do they have to go? What do they have to do to our children before we will leave? Do they have to molest our children? They’ve done that. Do they have to beat, maim or kill our children? They’ve done that too. Do they have to fail to educate our children adequately? They’ve done that. Do they have to deny our God and his laws? They have done that too. Do they have to lead our children away from Christ and his Church in droves by indoctrinating them in Atheistic Secular Humanism? Check that one off too. When will enough be enough? When will our desire to raise our children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Eph. 6:4) outweigh our addiction to free daycare?

Wow, that is really heavy. Thank you for sharing.
You are still on break! Wow! I hope you are doing well. :)
I believe that for many homeschooling is right. There are so many benefits, and obviously the quote highlighted the deadly downfalls.
However, I had to struggle not to take offense, as I am a single mother, who must work to provide for my children. I take every opportunity to discuss those very things that are listed in the featured comment, and pray that my children will be lights in the darkness.
Believe it or not there are some "rebel" Christian teachers still out there in the public schools. God is alive everywhere. I've spoken with several homeschooled young adults who really struggled upon entering college. They were unprepared to stand up for their beliefs in secular setting.
I am all for home schooling, but shame on me if I should judge others, who do not, for whatever reason, choose not to educate their children by homeschooling. God is big enough for all our kids, wherever they are.
Carol: I agree with you. I do not want to be a stumbling block. I am open to public education for my children (in the future.) I am learning from people like Vodie and Spunky about why public education began in the first place and why uninformed parents continue to send their children without thinking about the options. I am glad you have at least thought thru the options - the Lord will take care of your children no matter where they are educated.
Jenny: yes, I'm still on a break. I really thought I'd be back by now. But our lives have changed a lot in the last few months and I do not to spend extra time worrying about what to post and finding info to share. I enjoy reading blogs, but for now I can't write much. Takes too much energy.
