A Correction Concerning Government Schools

Ok, Ok, maybe government schools do have a place. So I might've offended some pagans out there. True, I admit, that if you do want your offspring to have a firm grasp of living for the moment, and to capture the true essence of what it means to be self absorbed then there is no better choice than the government schools to finish off the polishing of our fallen sin nature.

The fear is well founded that if you home school you could probably not create the same environment that fosters a fragmented outlook on life. It's hard to duplicate the bells going off and having to stop what your doing and transition to some other class or subject on a non-stop basis all day long. Who has the time to individually put together a program that molds and shapes a young mind to see that life revolves around the approval of man as the highest authority in every area of life.

When it comes to imparting information that is disconnected from reality we all think we can do it. But trust me, even though all of our hearts are desperately wicked, it takes a certain level of additional debasement and training to put together text books that can manage to strip out the One who made it all and holds it all together as if He had never been.

I stand corrected.
