Educational Choices

Robert and Gideon both have thought-provoking posts about the issues parents must face when thinking about whether to send their children to government schools or homeschool.

Of course, there are other excellent options as well!

I like this point by Robert: "Our mission as parents is not to make sure our children are attractive, athletic, popular, socially skilled, smart, well educated, or financially prosperous. It is to raise them to be godly."

Now, if one discerns the government schools are the only option for one's children there are many things one can do to make the most of the situation. It is also true that some children will thrive in it. But, frankly, I just can't fathom putting my children in government schools; certainly not until high school and hopefully never.
