As a kind of companion to my post about the dangers of public school that you can find here: http://thefullquiverhomeschoolhouse.wordpress.com/2008/02/19/homeschooling-vs-traditional-school/, I thought I would add this insightful quote that sums things up very well in my mind.
“As Christians, we must rescue our children from public schools. They are being coerced and persecuted there. Frankly, speaking as a pastor who has observed the deterioration of public schools for many years, I would say that Christian parents who are putting their children in public schools today are endangering their children spiritually, emotionally, physically, and educationally. This debate is important because parents need to know how toxic public schools have become.”
- Pastor Wiley Drake, Southern Baptist Convention
Now that is food for thought. Toxic is certainly not a word to be taken lightly. And toxic it is. Our children need to be at home with us, where they belong. What kind of environment do you want for your children?
