Protecting the Future: Christian
Home Schooling
What can a parent do that wants to protect their child from
the negative influences of public schools?
For many parents, the answer has been Christian home schooling. Over the recent decades, the public school
system has become less and less welcoming to the Christian child, from the end
of prayer in school to the battle over evolution; it is daily getting harder to
raise a child in a Christian environment.
While some parents can afford to move their children into private
school, for most of us this is still out of reach, leaving us to find a program
for Christian home schooling.
Choosing Christian
Home Schooling
Public schools can be dangerous. Many people are becoming frightened by the
growing trend in violence, drugs, and gangs at many of the public schools
around the nation. Yet for the Christian
child the dangers can be longer lasting. Daily, they go into a worldly
environment and face temptations on all fronts. Their teachers can be little
help, even those who can find their hands tied by the system. From drugs to evolution, the kids find
themselves surrounded, and pressured from all directions. Christian private schools can improve the
situation but can be very expensive, setting them far outside the means of the
average family.
Christian home schooling gives the power back to the
family. At home, parents can better
protect their children from the worldly influences of the public schools
without the price of the private schools.
At home, parents have control of both the environment and the
curriculum.
Parents look to Christian home schooling as a way to not
only tailor education to their children, but also look to their religious
instruction. Public education has so
moved against the Christian upbringing that students can even find it difficult
to pray. Add into that having studied Darwin’s
theory of evolution as opposed to creation and the Christian student has little
room for their beliefs.
Some critics accuse those who choose Christian home
schooling of isolating their children in an attempt to hide them from a world
that they will have to deal with eventually.
The parents respond to this as a form of protection, not isolation. Should their children have to fight
temptation and a worldly school program when they only want education? The fight against the world can come later,
after they have been raised up in a Christian way, giving them the tools to
fight. For many parents, Christian home schooling is the best way to protect
the future, to protect their children.
