> It must get lonely in that safe social bubble...

Not at all. We have a very active social life, including extended family and neighbors who disagree with us. Imagine that!

We separate social activities from academics.

But our spiritual life is a part of everything we do.

You don’t have to like it.

You don’t have to like us.

We don’t really care whether or not you do.

Our happiness and our joy does not depend on what others think of us, but only what God thinks of us.

——Our happiness and our joy does not depend on what others think of us, but only what God thinks of us.——

Absolutely.

The objective purpose of life is to know, love and serve God in this life, and to be happy forever with Him in the next.

True education serves this end.

Any institution that claims to educate children, yet ignores this end, is a contradiction. It’s an institution adrift —an institution without purpose.

This is one of the two fundamental reasons for the deplorable state of government schooling. The curriculum is a grab-bag of often contradictory teachings formed by the conflicting ideologies of various interested groups.

The fact that parents are not recognized or treated as the primary educators of children is the other fundamental reason for the state of government schooling.

You speak for us as well. That’s exactly how we felt.

And still feel.

The kids are in or graduated from college at this point.
