The Case for Christian Education

I am convinced that Christians desperately need to reevaluate their choices of educating their children. Here are a few reasons why:

Five Reasons Not to Send Your Children to Government Schools


I was shocked (but then not really) to see what is going on in some American public schools today:

We Are Going To Rape You -----*do not read this unless you are 18 or older*

Student Suspended For Exposing Classroom Chaos

Teacher Molesting Student

Children Banned from Saying Pledge of Allegiance to Not Offend Muslims

I did a little research on the educators who are in charge of public educating the children and it only got me upset:

Chicago Public Schools Give Their Students 'Birthday Sex' ---*do not read this unless 18 or older*

Govt. Education and the Deliberate Dumbing Down of America


Is homeschooling a viable option?:

Homeschoolers Score 34-39 Percentile Higher Than Norm on Standardized Tests

Homeschoolers Score High on ACT

Homeschoolers Rank in 83 Percentile in All Subjects

Homeschool Socialization Resembles Real World/Combating Being a Light In Schools

Homeschoolers Accepted At Ivy League Schools

Homeschool Hall of Fame (do you recognize these famous people?)

John Wesley on education:

" Let it be remembered, that I do not speak to the wild, giddy, thoughtless world, but to those that fear God. I ask, then, for what end do you send you children to school? “Why, that they may be fit to live in the world.” In which world do you mean, — this or the next? Perhaps you thought of this world only; and had forgot that there is a world to come; yea, and one that will last for ever! Pray take this into your account, and send them to such masters as will keep it always before their eyes. Otherwise, to send them to school (permit me to speak plainly) is little better than sending them to the devil. At all events, then, send your boys, if you have any concern for their souls, not to any of the large public schools, (for they are nurseries of all manner of wickedness,) but private school, kept by some pious man, who endeavours to instruct a small number of children in religion and learning together."

John Wesley actually thought this back then...
I wonder what he would say today?

And as if there weren't enough links here already, I thought I would add this last one in. While I don't agree with everything in this following article, it certainly left some powerfully interesting food for thought:
