I realize this post is a call to Christian parents, and I agree that because of our faith, we must pray and think carefully about how we believe our children should be educated. I believe, however, that ALL parents should be considering the alternatives before choosing one option over the other. Thank you, Misty! For a while now we have known we wanted to homeschool our children. But your oldest just turned five, and in August it is time to start.
Now, suddenly all of our family and friends who have known of our decision for quite some time are now beginning to belittle the idea. Lately, this negative energy has really brought me down. Now, reading this has really reminded me of the reasons we decided to embark on this journey in the first place. So, thanks. Oh, Deborah. If I could, I would hug you right now. I am so very sorry that you went through that.
It sounds like your boy was amazing and that you did a fantastic job raising him. Thank you for sharing your difficult story. I believe this will help and encourage others. I also hope and pray that you have found peace. I sent my oldest 2 children through the school system and i will live to regret it the rest of my life, due to the fact that we lost our son in to complications of swine flu he contracted it from school and because of my son passing from swine flu he was 14 years old, very healthy boy the health department jumped in and started vaccinating all the other children in this area right away, tamaflu saved many lives that year also…2 hospitals in this area called him a silent hero… He was a Jesus lover and He spent his free time at school talking to others about Jesus and always defended and befriended the children that had special needs or were bullied.
He begged me daily to homeschool him because of the corrupt, ungodly things he had to go through while at school. Since his passing we have had 2 more children and they came into this world for our blessings and help us heal from a horrible event that took place in our lives, the Lord knew exactly what we needed.
We all know its only gonna get worse, our children need us more than ever. Yes, for myself, Acts is a mandate. For my children? There is no competition. Just like throwing weak, beaten Christians to the lions in the coliseums of old. Not to mention the authority factor. In other words, your worldview will be the last thing your child considers as they grow older.
You will always be behind. Defending instead of taking the offensive. Try to catch up. Who has your child for longer periods of time through their waking hours as a captive audience in chairs facing the speaker…? You brought up Acts. What is the definition of a fool? The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalm Simply, they say there is no God in their heart. Believe me, there are many so called Christians who are fools. Just watch what they do. Deep inside where no one but God can see. Watch what they do. Do they act like they believe the promises of God or not. So yes, I agree with Dr. James Dobson on this one. That is, traditionally, the age of adulthood bar mitzvah for the jews and even in the colonial USA indentured service started at 14 years of age as well as higher learning.
At this age the child has a biblical foundation and worldview. Thank you SO much for sharing your story. A Project of the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics. Washington University in St. M illions of children and their families are navigating a world without in-person school this fall, as the Covid pandemic continues. A nationwide surge in homeschooling seemed far-fetched six months ago, but today, 60 percent of parents say they are likely to pursue at-home learning options this fall.
The number of families in Vermont filing the necessary paperwork to homeschool has increased by 75 percent from last year laws vary by state, with many states requiring no notice at all. In Nebraska, filings are up by 21 percent and counting.
A large part of the industry markets their K curricula to a distinctly conservative evangelical audience, offering comprehensive lesson plans and textbooks in every subject. I can certainly trace the unique benefits of my own K homeschool education—the freedom to pursue my own interests chief among them—but I can also identify the troubling messages about religion, race, and the origins of the United States that I encountered in the world of Christian homeschooling.
Philippians being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. There will be more family time. Philippians Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Matthew But he answered, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
Psalm But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. You are less likely to have rebellious children. Is Smoking Marijuana Sinful?
Privacy Policy. Why should God let you into Heaven? Do you know the answer? Are you confident in your salvation? When there were serving or internship opportunities at the church or other agencies, we could take full advantage without concern for what day of the week it might land.
Finally, homeschooling gives you the freedom to let your child chase their individual gifts and passions. Our youngest son, Zach, was inclined toward music and the arts from his earliest days.
We were able to tailor his education to include an abundance of music, internships with arts teams and more. Today, he is a pastor of worship, chasing his calling with ferocity. We feel we helped.
All four walk closely with Christ. All four went to premiere universities. All four are engaged in full-time vocational ministry. All four want to homeschool their children.
