“Also remember that there’s more to education than what’s taught…Reading Walt Whitman in ninth grade changed the way you see the world? Well, getting drunk before basketball games with kids who lived at the trailer park near my house did the same for me. In fact it’s part of the reason I feel so strongly about public schools.”

That’s also the reason most Christian parents are removing their kids from public schools. Paretns are responsible for their child’s education and not the state. Do we really want the state, or even better, your child’s friends, to indoctrinate our children with their values, morals, and beliefs?

There is plenty of time for our children to “experience” the world but let their eyes open to the sin and sickness of the world wait until they have the mental, emotional, and spiritual maturity to deal with it.
