I’m a Christian parent with two children in public school. They are thriving and doing well. We researched schools before we built our home so that we could have them in what we consider the best district. It is a small 2A school. We are very involved, know what is going on and know what is being taught. We have a daughter in high school and a son in middle school. The school is not a babysitter. If a child is home schooled is the parent simply a babysitter?
I understand no place is perfect, neither is a home school. I could give you examples but I won’t.
You are very unusual.
Have you read their curriculum, especially their social studies, language arts, and math books ? Are you there every day to hear what they are taught ?
You’d be surprised how they slip it in - my kid’s math book in 4th grade contained highly biased and inaccurate stories on the rain forest, Africa etc. Her MATH book, for Pete’s sake.
Christian support of public education is completely inappropriate; even the Southern Baptist Convention is studying this problem. The public schools don’t “teach” anything; they prep for tests and indoctrinate Leftist ideology; they undermine parental authority at every given opportunity. The problem is that they are owned, operated and controlled by Leftist Teachers Unions and the only way to break the back of the Unions is to effectuate a mass exodus from their campuses.
