Thank you for such a wonderful article Jacque! I enjoyed it throughoutly. As parents, there’s SO much we need to invest in our children. I am improving slowly and I know I’ve come a long ways since the way I used to think about parenting at the beginning. I also know I still have a long ways to go! I value any instruction from Christian parents like you and Lisa!

Amen to that! Charlene and I were just talking about child rearing last night. Getting them to obey is the top priority in homeschooling. Once they can be trained to obey they will learn anything we hand them. In the earliest years of compulsory education the teachers made it the top priority to teach the students the Bible. But although they did so, it was never the intention of the Lord that we give up our teaching to someone else.

If a teacher fails to teach our child something it is US who will be held accountable to God for that. Yet if the parent tries to make the teacher accountable the teacher gets upset with the parent and turns it right back on them and says “It’s YOUR responsibility” to which usually parents pipe up with “Well I’m paying YOU to do it” It becomes a battle between the teacher and the parent. It’s called ‘passing the buck’. How sad for the child that neither one wants to take full responsibility.

This is just another reason I feel it is important to homeschool our own children. I think a private Christian school is for people who really can’t keep their kids at home. Their are fathers who say no to homeschooling, but will at least pay for the Christian school. That is the child’s better option. Yet I know women who have committed to praying about homeschooling and their husbands on their own have said it is time to bring them home. Hallelujah!

Christian school is better than public school, but homeschool is best.
