For 41 years of my life I was a devout atheist. Public school educated which reinforced the secular world view. 11 months ago I finally picked up a bible and came to Christ. We’re now organising for my kids to attend a good Christian school next year. The public system is rotten to the core.
Or… thank God you found Christ and realize that despite your specific experience 100’000 of believers attend and serve in the public schools. Simultaneously “christian” schools are able to produce atheists, deists and occultists quite regularly. By your experience we may just as well deduce logically the God meets people at any time of life from any upbringing with the free gift of salvation by grace through faith in Christ. In fact the Gospel record account Jesus supping with sinners while being constantly besmirched and scorned by the religious-intellectual institutions of his day. AND I’ll remind you all- even Jesus paid those institutions due respect because they were instituted by God through Moses. BUT crucially Jesus SURPASSED them and FULFILLED the Law and Prophets on which they grounded their legitimacy.
@@_derpderp Just because God can use something or save someone despite something doesn’t make it good. God has saved people who had been abused as children. Does that justify abusing children?
We just decided to homeschool our 7yo. His teacher confirmed (in writing) that she told the class boys can take medicine to become girls. They also talked about cross dressing. The teacher thought this was appropriate because of “inclusion”. We cannot and will not send him back there.
When God decided for my wife and I to have children in 2012, we said we would never send them to school . 12 years later , 4 children were fully homeschooled. My wife stays home and manages everything, sometimes it's very hard for us but it's the only option. God willing well continue. Good luck to everyone
Please pray for my nieces and nephews. My sisters girls were supposed to enter a christian school in the coming school year, and she suddenly passed away. Now, they are being raised by a godless man who is keeping them in public school. Please pray he comes to the Lord, too. Also, please pray for my brother and his kids. They are also in pub lic schools being raised by a narcissist mother who cheated and is now turning the kids on my brother and our family. They're so impressionable, and she's teaching them that cheating and lying is okay. The court, of course, is siding with the mother. My family is going through the fire right now. Please pray for us and that the kids would remain believers in our Lord.
Absolutely- that is where family and side programs like AHG/ trail life and awana through church comes in handy- a bunch of wise counsel. AHG/ trail life ... You as a family memeber can do back round check and participate also and it's Christ centered. These are areas that help when a parent is missing and others are lead by the world - lots still want their kids to have morals - it's a place to start
My husband and I are Newer Christians. We just remarried after 2 years apart but we were still very much in each other’s lives during that time. Before our divorce we were married 22 years. I am no longer a nag and I let him lead because I know he is in prayer with our Father, as I am and we are both looking for complete guidance in our lives. We are both 64 years old and I was definitely more of a feminist but married to a strong ungodly man. Jesus has changed everything. I have the utmost respect for my husband now and know God expects him to lead. Put Christ first and yearn for him in every part of your lives. He will make your marriage strong and happy. I let him lead and it takes so much stress off of me. Love to all 💕🙏🏻😎🌵
Praise God!!! You sound a lot like me, I didn’t obey my husband or allow him to lead the home!! What a huge mistake that was!! Praise God he opened my eyes
wow. I’m experiencing somewhat the same with my husband. been married for almost 6 years. it’s been tough. currently separated. it’s only been 6 weeks. needing prayer.
I’m so glad we homeschool! My ten year old is full of joy. He does have friends at gov schools and their parents keep telling us that their kids get bullied a lot which leads them to being depressed. We are talking about ten year olds! That should not be happening!
I am a certified elementary school teacher turned homeschool mom after 7 years in the classroom. I've been home since 2018 homeschooling and its been amazing!
I was a government school teacher and the first thing that put me on the path of homeschooling was seeing the love of learning getting sucked out of kids. We were crushing these kids. I would see kindergartners so bright eyed and eager to learn and by 4th-5th grade that glimmer a light was gone. The kids only liked school because it meant hanging out with friends.
@@nicobrits5111 So much of teaching was about preparing for standardized testing. The district needs data so we tested a lot and it started in kindergarten. Kids are only reading passages to answer questions. They aren't learning to read just for joy, entertainment or to learn about life. That's just one example.
I was one of those kids. I nearly 100% hated school (only 'liked' music class/choir, and foods.) And nearly dropped out of high-school. And I grew up in the 60's & 70's! It already sucked back then!
I home schooled my boy and girl that still identify as a boy and girl. It was challenging. I say only send your children to public indoctrination if you hate them.
I’m a teacher at a catholic school in the south Bronx. Parents work hard here, they hustle, 2-3 jobs, myself I have two jobs. I’m a missionary here. There are believers that are working in the public schools, we pray, we intercede for our students, we want to see them come to Christ. We need believers in these places to proclaim Jesus Christ. You can evangelize in the streets, you don’t run from it, you run into it. So praise, praise God for teachers that are missionaries full stop in some of the toughest cities in this countries. Some of my kids have come to Christ because of this calling and instead of condemning teachers working in war zones, I’m praying for them and lifting them up!
Thank you. As a teacher, while I understand the issues they are discussing, it saddens me that there is an entire movement of people demonizing public education. This job is so hard. It makes me so sad. What happens when all the "good" people leave public schools? You think it's bad now..
So happy I found this comment. I'm Brooklyn, born and raised. NYers do not have this option and I don't think people can fully grasp that. Because of this, growing up as a Pentecostal child, there were many staff rooted in Christianity and did intervene and intercede!!! The staff members were a crucial part in integrating with a christian parents to have eyes on their child and this still goes on today. Correct, we should be uplifting and interceding for those making a difference in the DOE
Change happens when we take action. If we make it impossible for the government to control our kids minds, then we take our power back. Fighting with the majority doesn't do anything for us when the majority is taken over by ideologies we don't want for our children. If public schools disappeared, that would not be a negative thing. It would invite a new way of educating our kids. It's already here. There are so many ways to educate your kids online now. You don't have to subject your children to a public school and surrender your control to them.
For what it’s worth, if it were to be illegal, you could always move. Educating your kids how you want is one reason we have Amish and Mennonites in the USA. We can thank some Amish and/or Mennonites for fighting the courts for education freedom.
My wife and I took both our kids out of public school and put them in a Christian school. As a believing parent I’m more concerned on the soul of my child than their academic success. If I have to work two jobs to send them to Christian school than I will do it with joy!
Be careful with the private schools. My husband went and the students were no better than public. The Bible delegates the education of children to the parents.
@PostMillMan My kids also go to Christian School. I don't make the mistake of thinking all the kids who attend will be followers of Christ. Maybe many of them will, maybe they won't. The reason we heave them in Christian School is because the school assures it's families that Biblical truth will be taught to the kids, not worldly values. That's the reason. My wife is not on board, at this point, with homeschooling, but if/when she comes along side me in that, we'll be doing so. In the meantime, we see it as our kids being spared the worldly things being pushed in public schools while still gaining social skills and having to learn to deal with adversity (when other students act stupid, etc)
@@erics.4546 I understand what you mean. I loved my Christian School that I went to but it seems odd to me reflecting back on my class how off the rails so many of the students went after high school or even during. The same thing goes for conservative homeschooling students I know. I seems like there is no silver bullet in any of the 3 options.
I wish this was better known. My husband went to private school. A student asked him to drive his gf to an abortion clinic. Even in public school, no one asked me to do such a thing. Maybe nowadays they would.
I've advocated for this in a "conservative", "reformed" church. I advocated for this as gently, as thoughtfully as I knew how to, a d am now seen as an extremeist. My "elders" are either cowards or blended in this issue. Yet child after child who are raised by the state in government schools are leaving our church, yet my elders still say I am the radical.
I agree 100%, but as a single mother. I have no other choice but to send my daughter to public school. I keep teaching her about the word of God, and our Savior Jesus Christ. I keep praying for my daughters. The Lord is faithful. I was saved, at 31 now I'm 34 . God can save anyone even being raised with worldly parents. Praise the Lord for giving my daughter a chance to know about His precious Son🙏🏾🙏🏾
Send her to me, we have 5 daughters and hs and love the Lord. A fellow sister in Christ just lost her oldest 2 to Satan bc she lost her husband and sent them to govt schools. Please don’t follow the same path. She brought her youngest 2 home, quit her job, and Uber for a living now so she can hs.
If we just obeyed there would be so much blessing “These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.” Deuteronomy 6:6-7 NASB1995
This comment right here made me cry! My mom used to recite this verse all the time to explain to us why she was always telling us about Jesus! Now as a mom we homeschool our kids, they have never been in school and we could never send them there. God provides when you trust him!
Actually, this Country was Founded on separation of Church and State, so those schools shouldn't have been doing it back then either. Don't get me started what Christians did to the pledge and our currency.
@@troywest7045 Rights come from the "Creator" - See the Declaration of Independence. They appealed to "the supreme Judge of the world" - that is a prayer (same document)
Churches should step up and create programs for single parents during the day. The churches can teach non core subjects (hello theology) then parents can teach core subjects when they are not at work. We homeschool and often hear the struggle from single parents. The churches can fill this need.
Yes parents can teach in a group at a church different subjects thru home school Godly curriculum. Most churches are very worldly. Religious schools are.often no better
My granddaughter just turned 14, and since she started public school, she has changed for the worse. She doesn't want nothing to do with me or God! My daughter is not wise, and won't listen to me. She hasn't seen me in more than five years! She's so brainwashed, and got in the world! It makes me sad, but there's nothing I can do, I am just grandma!
That's somewhat that happened to me my older children never want to have anything to do with me. But remember what Christ said he came to his own and they received him not so I love them from a distance. God bless you dear family In Christ Jesus luv Kathleen ❣️
I will never put my kids in public school, so I'm not defending public schools, but these guys are just spouting thoughtless fear/hate at public schools. Literally EVERYTHING they said against public schools applies to private schools as well. So why didn't they mention those? And if you are going to be an absolutist on not having any peer who isn't a Christian and doesn't have that worldview around your kids, then are you going to be consistent? When your kid is 12 and says he's not a Christian and doesn't believe the Bible then are you going to keep him away from any Christian kids because, after all, you can't have Christian kids be around a non Christian bad influence? Better keep your kids out of youth group I guess because it will be a mixed crowd 🤦♂️
Education isn’t brainwashing. Your religion is brainwashing. Quite literally. You are living in upside down world. Good on your grand daughter for…..not being afraid to think.
The problem is (and I know as a single mother who’s pulled my kids from school) that there aren’t many other options and not all of us can homeschool or put them in costly Christian schools. So now my sons will have to do adult degree or GED programs to get education. There’s so much more depth to my story, one has autism and the other has severe ADHD, so not having support with learning disabilities has been rough. They are both older now, but I fought hard with the school and now that I have proper diagnosis for my youngest it’s too late. Please pray for my sons to get education and be able to support themselves and their future families. I believe God has a plan, and I’ve been praying since they were born.. but yeah, we need more options
My husband gave me the option to send our kids to private school or homeschool. Since we couldn't afford private school, I had to homeschool. Initially, I was freaked out and panicked about the idea. Luckily, I had a friend that homeschooled and I learned a lot from her. It's going on 8 years homeschooling and I wouldn't change it for the world. It would break my heart to send my girls to school and be without them for so many hours.
This information is so useful. I went to public school growing up and I had no clue just how much I was probably missing from not going to home school. Definitely want to change this with my future family!!
There are some great hone school co-ops. You don't have to do it by your self! You can even get together with some people from church and stay your own!
In Spokane WA we tried public school called kindercare. Our daughter came home upset about an argument with the teacher who had "changed her gender" our daughter argued with the teacher that she was a girl. We talked to the superintendent about this obvious problem and they told us there was no action to be used and they hire these type of people to desensitize the children to the gay community. My wife cannot work because we are forced to homeschool but what a blessing, our kids are so intelligent with mom teaching them and thank God for enabling us to overcome this situation
I was public schooled. My parents expressed concerns about the peers I was joining with. I argued I was witnessing to them, but really i just wanted to act out. I never lost my faith, by God's mercy, but I believe that is primarily bc my father taught the Bible every night before dinner. If he had not, I shudder to think the journey I would have taken.
Totally. You share a good example of how parents really are the ones that help stear the course of their children's faith more than even the school they go to.
As the youngest of 3 who all went to public school, my oldest brother doesn’t follow the Lord. The difference between him and I is that I found my core group of friends at church while he gravitated to his school friends. Who you choose to be around matters the most. I always felt left out around the people at school, but was always included at church. I turned that around to be the one who includes those and turn them to Jesus! I agree that homeschooling matters, but make sure they have people their age who they can connect with at church too
@@two_point_0805 agreed. But there are other opportunities for connection in homeschool groups, and with their own siblings (who, especially as Christians, SHOULD be lifelong "friends.")
Not only all this, but also, considering the horror stories I've heard of the student behaviors and how there's no consequences for anything, your kids are not even physically safe in public schools (and most private schools too).
So true!!!! Get them out!!! My oldest are so different from my youngest who I have kept out of government schools . I don’t even know my oldest girls anymore I didn’t raise them that way they got like that from the school. Wish I never sent them!!!
I homeschooled all 3 of my children right through high school. I am so thankful that I was able to. They could see the difference in their Catholic homeschool friends vs those that went to public school. They all attended college and turned out well. I thank the Lord for that! As a result of keeping them grounded, they are all still close to God. This world is so crazy- everything is turned upside down. Common sense is not so common anymore!! I pray to God that all of this nonsense comes to some type of end sooner than later!
We sent our middle schoolers to public school with the thought that they would be "missionaries", it was the worst decision my husband and I made. We pulled them out in the middle of their 7th grade year. They will be entering 8th grade next month. I quit my job this past February, money is a little tight but all of the sacrifices are worth it. Unfortunately, some damage was already done that we have to work through. We have a son and a daughter in the same grade, the public school system and their peers severely impacted them in such a negative way. We live in California btw.
I forgot to mention that I was a school employee in the same school district where my children attended. When I left my job, we lost income, health insurance, and my retirement, but it is 100% worth it. The Lord actually opened doors for me, and I recently got licensed to be a home daycare provider.
I run a private christian preschool/kindergarten in my church. It's only half day. I always filled up my class but this is the second year in a row that my attendance has been cut in half. All the public schools opened a free all day preschool. Even a lot of christian families I know are sending their kids there. I am not an expensive program, but I'm not free. If I have the same problem next year, I will have to shut my program down. I'm heartbroken and so worried about all the children attending public school. Crazy thing is I don't qualify for any assistance from the government because I'm a faith based program.
Thank you so much for posting this video at this time. We’re in summer session as homeschoolers and everyone is getting ready for Back 2 School and I was just telling my husband idk if we’re doing the right thing & we need to decide soon because school is right around the corner … but after seeing this I’m more aware of the advantages and so maybe I am doing the right thing after all😭 Please continue to make more videos about this subject as the school year approaches because I know I’m not the only mom on the fence
While I was in college I taught as a substitute teacher at the local high school (NY). Very conservative town - fairly conservative staff. This small high school still had an overwhelming level of perversion, confusion, irresponsibility, rebelliousness, etc. The teachers had little authority, kids ran the class room. Kids had identity issues - tried changing their name, gender, clothing, style in 7th grade. No government-run school is an acceptable place for your child. The point of the public school was to teach kids academics, while the parents taught them social, psychological, physical, mental, worldview topics. Now the public school has taken the role of parents and has decided to teach worldview etc. The government has assumed authority that God gave to parents.
I've never understood how a child is expected to learn how to be an adult in the world by sticking them in a room full of kids outnumbering one lone adult.
I really thank God I work so hard to engage myself in someway of earning more income. My family are happy once again and can now afford anything for my family even with my Retirement.$67k weekly returns has been life changing, after so much struggles.
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Maria Angelina Alexander) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from Brisbane Australia.🇦🇺
Watch the teachers there too. There are already stories they have fallen to. X rated Toys being passed around at one. Story is a year or so old. I think chances are much better. But the outcome can still happen.
Government of the people, by the people, for the people. Homeschool if necessary, but we have a duty to fix our own public school districts if we are unhappy with them--including taxpayers who do not have kids in school. The excellence of local education can determine, in part, the future excellence and success of the whole community. If some of problems are stemming from the state or federal level, talk to those representatives about the detrimental effects. Your elected representatives, the school board members on up, need to hear from you.
Absolutley nothing is more important than your childs upbringing and education... You're raising a future generation.. Do you want grandkids??? Do you want them to be better than you? Any sacrifice you have to make to ensure that happens is worth it..
I've recently come to realize, that by my drive to be a providing parent, I have been duped into paying an outlandish sum of money, only to give power to an enemy to indoctrinate my children. If you place a cell phone with data into your child's hand, thinking it will keep them safer and you connected to them like a leash, realize, you don't need much worry about what school they attend. That phone will do equal the work of any public school. Now I have to find a way to withdraw my misguided decision to equip them, so I might protect them. The World isn't going anywhere. Those ugly rainbow flags are boldly flying everywhere, and they are fully inclusional to exclude you. They represent so much more than what is admitted. The only true way forward for parents, is to 💯% monitor the internet use, or rip the tv off the wall, swap out the smart phones for flip phones, and yes, find a safer school.
So true, I work in schools and just alone the education they receive today is not good. Middle schoolers in the Los Angeles area can’t even complete a paragraph. I was so shocked.
Wow. I'm so thankful that someone had the courage to say what I've been thinking. I've heard so many say, 'My child goes to X school and its conservative.' Any government school is NOT conservative. If they say teach it, they'll teach it.
@@AL-hz7fg They are limited to what they can say. If the gov't says they have to teach it, they will or they will lose their job. I Spent 7.5 years in the Air Force. I know what gov't regulation is. I've had Christian teacher friends who get in trouble for speaking about their faith or parents complain. It doesn't mean you're going to change the hearts of many. They would be better off raising their own children and homeschooling them instead of sending them to a godless institution. It would better for everyone.
I homeschooled three years and it was the best years of our bonding! I now have a job in a Christian school that doesn’t accept government funding. Great school and great values. We are all going together. ❤government schools are scary and dangerous
My oldest son is 41, and left the Church at age 18. And is now radical against the word of God. I home educated him through middle-school. Regrettably, the rest of the time he went to public school.
From what you say here, you did try! I can't imagine how heartbreaking this is. But once they get older, they do what they want. Don't give up hope in praying for him.
I and my daughter took my granddaughter out of public school system Last year im glad we really found out how poorly she was taught terrible habits theyve taught them but getting these out of her mind is my goal These teachers are not like the teachers we had for my kids The alphabet people is not being taught to her by the schools she is being taught from the bible how its not right but a terrible sin going against gods plan for man and woman in eden. Shes only 8 hallelujah praise the lord he made able for us to do this. God will make a way to get your children out of the cesspool that our school system are Suicide is so high in teenagers now its awful
Home school and disciple your own kids. Or private Christian school. Nothing is more important than protecting your children, not even additional income. If at all possible: start a business that your children can work at. Teach your kids the Scriptures and worldview that is based in truth.
Send the pastors and leaders/evangelists of the church during the week when school starts or finishes in the neighborhoods and tell them about the Kingdom of God.
What County do you live in, cause in America our Founding Fathers weren't cool with that. No America should want their child indoctrinated by some schmuck while at school. As a parent I might have to teach that Pastor a lesson if he tried that with my child, I'll tell you what.
There are so many options for education to be done online at home. Your kids can make friends with the families YOU trust at church and in their extracurricular activities. School is the worst place to let them go off and make friends. Its full of... the public's kids who form their own culture and hierarchy among each other. I don't know why so many people get stuck on the tradition of public school. It is not the best way to go if you want a close relationship and influence on your child.
Homeschooling mom of four kids with ADHD…I am bothered by the reference to medicating kids because they can’t sit still. That invalidates those who have a real diagnosis of a condition in their brain that they cannot control. I have three kids diagnosed with ADHD who also have trouble with other processing issues sound, touch also dyslexia and dysgraphia…this is a real problem for these kids. Medicating them is not about getting them to sit still it’s about making it possible for the different parts of their brain to communicate with each other better. It’s about making it possible for them to learn whether that’s at home or in a classroom. I have experienced this first hand with my kids and the immense frustration they deal with trying to stay focused through what most of us would consider VERY minor distractions. I have experienced working memory issues watching my kids struggle with math that I KNOW they actually understand but can’t get out on paper without a LOT of grief. Please do not use that as an argument. It shows ignorance. There are enough legitimate reasons to keep them away from that cesspool that you don’t have to use that one that’s very controversial and hurts people with legitimate disabilities. Does the public school over diagnose? Maybe and I firmly believe that kids with legitimate ADHD will NEVER thrive in the public school setting because the learning style/environment there is almost completely opposite of what a child with ADHD needs. But that’s completely separate from the medication issue. For the record my kids have all tried ADHD meds. They help a lot but also have their down side. Right now, none of my kids are medicated. I’m not just saying this to defend myself I truly have a sympathy towards the judgment ADHD kids and parents receive. “It’s not real, it’s not a real diagnosis. They’re just bad kids or bad parents or both. “. Somehow we’re trying to change the childlikeness of our kids. That’s just not true. I love my ADHD kids. I love their energy, I love their creative minds but there are things I do not love FOR them. Trouble controlling their emotions, becoming over stimulated in “normal” situations. Not being able to wait in long lines or sit through long dinner conversations so many things you don’t think of that I watch my kids struggle with. By struggle I mean tears, shame, low self esteem, working harder to achieve less…it’s painful to watch as a mom.
I love these arguments and the practicality towards what is actually serving God and family. What I don’t love is Christian parents crushing other parents who don’t do what they do and pass harsh judgment. As much as they may be correct, the message becomes lost while degrading others for circumstances that cannot be automatically changed instead of allowing the Lord to work on their hearts on his time.
There are countries (like mine) where it's a state law and mandate and if you would homeschool your children, they would take your children away and put you into jail....
I strongly believe we need MORE Christian influence in these schools, not less. We teach our children to fight back against harmful ideas and to encourage their peers to do the same. This is the time for Christians to make a difference where it’s most needed, not cower in some private school.
You need to go back to school, you obviously know nothing of this Country or it's Founders. You probably think this is a Christian Nation and the pledge always referenced God! 😂
Enjoyed hearing the discussion! Do y’all know where I can find the study of 8 of 10 millennials leaving their parents’ faith after high school? Be a great one to have in the back pocket talking with people
So how did you guys do it? Did you sell your house and move into a small apartment in the city? Me and my wife both work to barely get by in our house. Even Rent prices are crazy. If yall were in our shoes do you sell the house, sell the cars, and try to live off of section 8 housing and food stamps? I just dont know how to uproot from a typical house in the suburbs to the city. I wrote at all costs on a paper to try and think what do people mean by this....i guess i can see that at the end of the day it would be better to have perhaps not have much food to eat, not be in an overly safe neighborhood but your children are entirely in your care.
The thing people need to also do is make sure that you know what curriculum to use. If you don't use a 100 percent God centered. The most important thing is aGod centered curriculum If you claim to be a Christian school but are using secular curriculum your not a Christian school.
And DO NOT take government money to homeschool. If you do, you are just tying your family back to the government. True educational freedom is privately funded, privately taught.

For 41 years of my life I was a devout atheist. Public school educated which reinforced the secular world view. 11 months ago I finally picked up a bible and came to Christ. We’re now organising for my kids to attend a good Christian school next year. The public system is rotten to the core.
but God did not lose you because you were one of His elect
Many of the Christian schools are lost also ...Be careful...Classical only , or keep them home
Or… thank God you found Christ and realize that despite your specific experience 100’000 of believers attend and serve in the public schools. Simultaneously “christian” schools are able to produce atheists, deists and occultists quite regularly. By your experience we may just as well deduce logically the God meets people at any time of life from any upbringing with the free gift of salvation by grace through faith in Christ. In fact the Gospel record account Jesus supping with sinners while being constantly besmirched and scorned by the religious-intellectual institutions of his day. AND I’ll remind you all- even Jesus paid those institutions due respect because they were instituted by God through Moses. BUT crucially Jesus SURPASSED them and FULFILLED the Law and Prophets on which they grounded their legitimacy.
Welcome home brother! I’m similar, 40, been saved 5 yrs, immediately started homeschooling my two boys(thank God He made it possible).
@@_derpderp Just because God can use something or save someone despite something doesn’t make it good. God has saved people who had been abused as children. Does that justify abusing children?
We just decided to homeschool our 7yo. His teacher confirmed (in writing) that she told the class boys can take medicine to become girls. They also talked about cross dressing. The teacher thought this was appropriate because of “inclusion”. We cannot and will not send him back there.
Well done.
Wow! Just wow! And yes! Well done!!👏
Good job! That's being a loving parent ❤
Awesome, good call. ❤
You did the right thing. Never doubt your decision-even on the hard days. You saved him.
Get your kids out of government schools. Yes, at all costs
When God decided for my wife and I to have children in 2012, we said we would never send them to school . 12 years later , 4 children were fully homeschooled. My wife stays home and manages everything, sometimes it's very hard for us but it's the only option. God willing well continue. Good luck to everyone
Homeschool Your Kids
AMEN!
Please pray for my nieces and nephews. My sisters girls were supposed to enter a christian school in the coming school year, and she suddenly passed away. Now, they are being raised by a godless man who is keeping them in public school. Please pray he comes to the Lord, too. Also, please pray for my brother and his kids. They are also in pub lic schools being raised by a narcissist mother who cheated and is now turning the kids on my brother and our family. They're so impressionable, and she's teaching them that cheating and lying is okay. The court, of course, is siding with the mother. My family is going through the fire right now. Please pray for us and that the kids would remain believers in our Lord.
Praying. Both are very difficult situations but not beyond our Lord.
🙏
Absolutely- that is where family and side programs like AHG/ trail life and awana through church comes in handy- a bunch of wise counsel. AHG/ trail life ...

The Lord called us to homeschool 11 years ago, and it's been the biggest blessing of our lives.
My husband and I are Newer Christians. We just remarried after 2 years apart but we were still very much in each other’s lives during that time. Before our divorce we were married 22 years. I am no longer a nag and I let him lead because I know he is in prayer with our Father, as I am and we are both looking for complete guidance in our lives. We are both 64 years old and I was definitely more of a feminist but married to a strong ungodly man. Jesus has changed everything. I have the utmost respect for my husband now and know God expects him to lead. Put Christ first and yearn for him in every part of your lives. He will make your marriage strong and happy. I let him lead and it takes so much stress off of me. Love to all 💕🙏🏻😎🌵
Praise God!!! You sound a lot like me, I didn’t obey my husband or allow him to lead the home!! What a huge mistake that was!! Praise God he opened my eyes
wow. I’m experiencing somewhat the same with my husband. been married for almost 6 years. it’s been tough. currently separated. it’s only been 6 weeks. needing prayer.
I’m so glad we homeschool! My ten year old is full of joy. He does have friends at gov schools and their parents keep telling us that their kids get bullied a lot which leads them to being depressed. We are talking about ten year olds! That should not be happening!
I am a certified elementary school teacher turned homeschool mom after 7 years in the classroom. I've been home since 2018 homeschooling and its been amazing!
I was a government school teacher and the first thing that put me on the path of homeschooling was seeing the love of learning getting sucked out of kids. We were crushing these kids. I would see kindergartners so bright eyed and eager to learn and by 4th-5th grade that glimmer a light was gone. The kids only liked school because it meant hanging out with friends.
Yup yup 1000000%
How does the school do it?
@@nicobrits5111 So much of teaching was about preparing for standardized testing. The district needs data so we tested a lot and it started in kindergarten. Kids are only reading passages to answer questions. They aren't learning to read just for joy, entertainment or to learn about life. That's just one example.
I was one of those kids. I nearly 100% hated school (only 'liked' music class/choir, and foods.) And nearly dropped out of high-school. And I grew up in the 60's & 70's! It already sucked back then!
Yes! We want our kids to enjoy learning.
I home schooled my boy and girl that still identify as a boy and girl. It was challenging. I say only send your children to public indoctrination if you hate them.
and/ or if u love the idols of comfort & "lifestyle" moar than yer kids
@@DeaconBeanCooterexactly
I’m a teacher at a catholic school in the south Bronx. Parents work hard here, they hustle, 2-3 jobs, myself I have two jobs. I’m a missionary here. There are believers that are working in the public schools, we pray, we intercede for our students, we want to see them come to Christ. We need believers in these places to proclaim
Jesus Christ. You can evangelize in the streets, you don’t run from it, you run into it. So praise, praise God for teachers that are missionaries full stop in some of the toughest cities in this countries. Some of my kids have come to Christ because of this calling and instead of condemning teachers working in war zones, I’m praying for them and lifting them up!
Thank you for stating what people need to hear. We need to stand up for our rights and fight back. The government is supposed to work for us.
You make such an great point! We need to intercede for a great harvest of teachers in these public schools! Amen!
Thank you. As a teacher, while I understand the issues they are discussing, it saddens me that there is an entire movement of people demonizing public education. This job is so hard. It makes me so sad. What happens when all the "good" people leave public schools? You think it's bad now..
So happy I found this comment. I'm Brooklyn, born and raised. NYers do not have this option and I don't think people can fully grasp that. Because of this, growing up as a Pentecostal child, there were many staff rooted in Christianity and did intervene and intercede!!! The staff members were a crucial part in integrating with a christian parents to have eyes on their child and this still goes on today. Correct, we should be uplifting and interceding for those making a difference in the DOE
Change happens when we take action. If we make it impossible for the government to control our kids minds, then we take our power back. Fighting with the majority doesn't do anything for us when the majority is taken over by ideologies we don't want for our children. If public schools disappeared, that would not be a negative thing. It would invite a new way of educating our kids. It's already here. There are so many ways to educate your kids online now. You don't have to subject your children to a public school and surrender your control to them.
Homeschool while you still can. It is legal.
For what it’s worth, if it were to be illegal, you could always move. Educating your kids how you want is one reason we have Amish and Mennonites in the USA. We can thank some Amish and/or Mennonites for fighting the courts for education freedom.
My wife and I took both our kids out of public school and put them in a Christian school. As a believing parent I’m more concerned on the soul of my child than their academic success. If I have to work two jobs to send them to Christian school than I will do it with joy!
I went to Christian school, most of my graduating class doesn’t even bother going to church
Be careful with the private schools. My husband went and the students were no better than public. The Bible delegates the education of children to the parents.
@@PostMillManthe majority of people I talk to who attended Christian schools want nothing to do with Jesus.
@PostMillMan My kids also go to Christian School. I don't make the mistake of thinking all the kids who attend will be followers of Christ. Maybe many of them will, maybe they won't. The reason we heave them in Christian School is because the school assures it's families that Biblical truth will be taught to the kids, not worldly values. That's the reason. My wife is not on board, at this point, with homeschooling, but if/when she comes along side me in that, we'll be doing so. In the meantime, we see it as our kids being spared the worldly things being pushed in public schools while still gaining social skills and having to learn to deal with adversity (when other students act stupid, etc)
@@erics.4546 I understand what you mean. I loved my Christian School that I went to but it seems odd to me reflecting back on my class how off the rails so many of the students went after high school or even during. The same thing goes for conservative homeschooling students I know. I seems like there is no silver bullet in any of the 3 options.
Got em all out 4 years ago and never sending them back
Just pulled my daughter out of public school, starting homeschooling.
🇦🇺
Awesome you’ll love it! Yes there’s hard days but seeing my kids love to learn is epic ❤
The private schools are also problematic. The culture of drugs and alcohol is sometimes worse. And the teachers are all educated the same way.
Home school , make it work, there’s nothing more important , god bless
Even the Christian schools have people that have teaching degrees from the indoctrination camps
The “Christian schools” are dumping grounds for rich parents of 0 faith much of the time.
Home skool. Mom stays home.
I wish this was better known. My husband went to private school. A student asked him to drive his gf to an abortion clinic. Even in public school, no one asked me to do such a thing. Maybe nowadays they would.
I've advocated for this in a "conservative", "reformed" church. I advocated for this as gently, as thoughtfully as I knew how to, a d am now seen as an extremeist. My "elders" are either cowards or blended in this issue. Yet child after child who are raised by the state in government schools are leaving our church, yet my elders still say I am the radical.
Good job to you for having a spine. Remember cowards won't inherit the kingdom.
Christ’s righteousness allows one to enter the kingdom.
@@willire8811 correct. However, revelation states the cowardly will not inherit the kingdom.
I agree 100%, but as a single mother. I have no other choice but to send my daughter to public school. I keep teaching her about the word of God, and our Savior Jesus Christ. I keep praying for my daughters. The Lord is faithful. I was saved, at 31 now I'm 34 . God can save anyone even being raised with worldly parents. Praise the Lord for giving my daughter a chance to know about His precious Son🙏🏾🙏🏾
Why aren't you married
to your child's Father?
@@SherrickDuncan that is a probing question that is really none of your business
Stay up sister and keep trusting inGod. May He bless and keep both you and your daughters.
@@JesusistheonetrueGod Thank you very much 🙏🏾
Send her to me, we have 5 daughters and hs and love the Lord. A fellow sister in Christ just lost her oldest 2 to Satan bc she lost her husband and sent them to govt schools. Please don’t follow the same path. She brought her youngest 2 home, quit her job, and Uber for a living now so she can hs.
Don’t hide your light. Shine in the darkness and teach your children to do the same.
If we just obeyed there would be so much blessing

This comment right here made me cry! My mom used to recite this verse all the time to explain to us why she was always telling us about Jesus! Now as a mom we homeschool our kids, they have never been in school and we could never send them there. God provides when you trust him!
@@ldv02 Amen! His instructions are not burdensome as some say. They actually free us as Psalm 119 says. They are Life because He is a Father ❤️🔥
We got our (5) kids out and put them in a Christian Academy. One of the best decisions ever! I so so so agree-GET YOUR KIDS OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS!!!!
Great, but don't expect tax payers to fund your religious indoctrination.
James Lindsey has some great talks about the evil of public schools
The fact that this even needs to be stated leaves me stunned.
62 years ago today, June 25, 1962, prayer to the Almighty was removed from the public school system. Tragic results.
Actually, this Country was Founded on separation of Church and State, so those schools shouldn't have been doing it back then either. Don't get me started what Christians did to the pledge and our currency.
@@troywest7045 Rights come from the "Creator" - See the Declaration of Independence.
They appealed to "the supreme Judge of the world" - that is a prayer (same document)
Churches should step up and create programs for single parents during the day.
The churches can teach non core subjects (hello theology) then parents can teach core subjects when they are not at work.
We homeschool and often hear the struggle from single parents. The churches can fill this need.
Yes parents can teach in a group at a church different subjects thru home school Godly curriculum. Most churches are very worldly. Religious schools are.often no better
I agree. Unfortunately, churches and homeschool groups just abandon single moms. There's no help at all. No compassion or grace.
@@stephm5877 our co-op doesn’t but some do.
Not the entire millennial generation. Just half. Many of us returned to our parents values and Christ and woke up.
My granddaughter just turned 14, and since she started public school, she has changed for the worse. She doesn't want nothing to do with me or God! My daughter is not wise, and won't listen to me. She hasn't seen me in more than five years! She's so brainwashed, and got in the world! It makes me sad, but there's nothing I can do, I am just grandma!
You can pray for her. My husband was raised by a worldly mother. His grandma prayed for his salvation very often. He was saved when he was 18.
I am so sorry. I have heard many tragic stories like that. Do what you can.
That's somewhat that happened to me my older children never want to have anything to do with me. But remember what Christ said he came to his own and they received him not so I love them from a distance. God bless you dear family In Christ Jesus luv Kathleen ❣️
I will never put my kids in public school, so I'm not defending public schools, but these guys are just spouting thoughtless fear/hate at public schools. Literally EVERYTHING they said against public schools applies to private schools as well. So why didn't they mention those? And if you are going to be an absolutist on not having any peer who isn't a Christian and doesn't have that worldview around your kids, then are you going to be consistent? When your kid is 12 and says he's not a Christian and doesn't believe the Bible then are you going to keep him away from any Christian kids because, after all, you can't have Christian kids be around a non Christian bad influence? Better keep your kids out of youth group I guess because it will be a mixed crowd 🤦♂️
Education isn’t brainwashing. Your religion is brainwashing. Quite literally. You are living in upside down world. Good on your grand daughter for…..not being afraid to think.
The problem is (and I know as a single mother who’s pulled my kids from school) that there aren’t many other options and not all of us can homeschool or put them in costly Christian schools. So now my sons will have to do adult degree or GED programs to get education. There’s so much more depth to my story, one has autism and the other has severe ADHD, so not having support with learning disabilities has been rough. They are both older now, but I fought hard with the school and now that I have proper diagnosis for my youngest it’s too late. Please pray for my sons to get education and be able to support themselves and their future families. I believe God has a plan, and I’ve been praying since they were born.. but yeah, we need more options
Getting into debt isnt biblically sound advice but amen to all else.
It is if you’re children are at steak. They’re robbing us.
I’d rather go into debt and save my child’s soul than live well and lose my child’s soul 🙏
My husband gave me the option to send our kids to private school or homeschool. Since we couldn't afford private school, I had to homeschool. Initially, I was freaked out and panicked about the idea. Luckily, I had a friend that homeschooled and I learned a lot from her. It's going on 8 years homeschooling and I wouldn't change it for the world. It would break my heart to send my girls to school and be without them for so many hours.
This information is so useful. I went to public school growing up and I had no clue just how much I was probably missing from not going to home school.
Definitely want to change this with my future family!!
Had my children at home being homeschooled for a long time now ,,,and we didn’t fall for the C shot
There are some great hone school co-ops. You don't have to do it by your self! You can even get together with some people from church and stay your own!
In Spokane WA we tried public school called kindercare. Our daughter came home upset about an argument with the teacher who had "changed her gender" our daughter argued with the teacher that she was a girl. We talked to the superintendent about this obvious problem and they told us there was no action to be used and they hire these type of people to desensitize the children to the gay community. My wife cannot work because we are forced to homeschool but what a blessing, our kids are so intelligent with mom teaching them and thank God for enabling us to overcome this situation
This guest makes the most sense
I was public schooled. My parents expressed concerns about the peers I was joining with. I argued I was witnessing to them, but really i just wanted to act out. I never lost my faith, by God's mercy, but I believe that is primarily bc my father taught the Bible every night before dinner. If he had not, I shudder to think the journey I would have taken.
Totally. You share a good example of how parents really are the ones that help stear the course of their children's faith more than even the school they go to.
My oldest son mostly went to public school, (IN A SMALL TOWN for HS!) And he is the only one of my three children that isn't following the Lord:-(
As the youngest of 3 who all went to public school, my oldest brother doesn’t follow the Lord. The difference between him and I is that I found my core group of friends at church while he gravitated to his school friends. Who you choose to be around matters the most. I always felt left out around the people at school, but was always included at church. I turned that around to be the one who includes those and turn them to Jesus!
I agree that homeschooling matters, but make sure they have people their age who they can connect with at church too
@@two_point_0805 agreed. But there are other opportunities for connection in homeschool groups, and with their own siblings (who, especially as Christians, SHOULD be lifelong "friends.")
Please pray for me and my kids
My heart dropped once I saw the multi coloured flags go up for the first time ...that's when I realized it was time to really go. Best decision ever.
Well said. God bless you all.
Protect the kids.
Jesus lives! ♥️ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑
Not only all this, but also, considering the horror stories I've heard of the student behaviors and how there's no consequences for anything, your kids are not even physically safe in public schools (and most private schools too).
Sparkling charisma and engagement from this guest. Excellent collaboration! 🧂♥️☀️✝️
So true!!!! Get them out!!! My oldest are so different from my youngest who I have kept out of government schools . I don’t even know my oldest girls anymore I didn’t raise them that way they got like that from the school. Wish I never sent them!!!
I homeschooled all 3 of my children right through high school. I am so thankful that I was able to. They could see the difference in their Catholic homeschool friends vs those that went to public school. They all attended college and turned out well. I thank the Lord for that! As a result of keeping them grounded, they are all still close to God. This world is so crazy- everything is turned upside down. Common sense is not so common anymore!! I pray to God that all of this nonsense comes to some type of end sooner than later!
That's ironic, common sense and religion, two things that don't go together.
We sent our middle schoolers to public school with the thought that they would be "missionaries", it was the worst decision my husband and I made. We pulled them out in the middle of their 7th grade year. They will be entering 8th grade next month. I quit my job this past February, money is a little tight but all of the sacrifices are worth it. Unfortunately, some damage was already done that we have to work through. We have a son and a daughter in the same grade, the public school system and their peers severely impacted them in such a negative way. We live in California btw.
I forgot to mention that I was a school employee in the same school district where my children attended. When I left my job, we lost income, health insurance, and my retirement, but it is 100% worth it. The Lord actually opened doors for me, and I recently got licensed to be a home daycare provider.
What was this damage? You didn’t say
I run a private christian preschool/kindergarten in my church. It's only half day. I always filled up my class but this is the second year in a row that my attendance has been cut in half. All the public schools opened a free all day preschool. Even a lot of christian families I know are sending their kids there. I am not an expensive program, but I'm not free. If I have the same problem next year, I will have to shut my program down. I'm heartbroken and so worried about all the children attending public school. Crazy thing is I don't qualify for any assistance from the government because I'm a faith based program.
“Don’t talk politics rule” has done US a disservice, for the fear of offending, especially when “men” apply it - abide by it. 💯
Thank you so much for posting this video at this time. We’re in summer session as homeschoolers and everyone is getting ready for Back 2 School and I was just telling my husband idk if we’re doing the right thing & we need to decide soon because school is right around the corner … but after seeing this I’m more aware of the advantages and so maybe I am doing the right thing after all😭
Please continue to make more videos about this subject as the school year approaches because I know I’m not the only mom on the fence
While I was in college I taught as a substitute teacher at the local high school (NY). Very conservative town - fairly conservative staff.
This small high school still had an overwhelming level of perversion, confusion, irresponsibility, rebelliousness, etc. The teachers had little authority, kids ran the class room. Kids had identity issues - tried changing their name, gender, clothing, style in 7th grade.
No government-run school is an acceptable place for your child.
The point of the public school was to teach kids academics, while the parents taught them social, psychological, physical, mental, worldview topics. Now the public school has taken the role of parents and has decided to teach worldview etc. The government has assumed authority that God gave to parents.
I've never understood how a child is expected to learn how to be an adult in the world by sticking them in a room full of kids outnumbering one lone adult.

Help yourself, stop being useless.
In my area Christian schools are exploding in attendance. Prayers are being answered!
Be careful even Christian schools are not safe.
Watch the teachers there too. There are already stories they have fallen to. X rated Toys being passed around at one. Story is a year or so old.
I think chances are much better. But the outcome can still happen.
It’s not Christian’s flocking to them. It’s Republican/conservatives.
We homeschool and I never considered anything else.
Government of the people, by the people, for the people.
Homeschool if necessary, but we have a duty to fix our own public school districts if we are unhappy with them--including taxpayers who do not have kids in school. The excellence of local education can determine, in part, the future excellence and success of the whole community. If some of problems are stemming from the state or federal level, talk to those representatives about the detrimental effects.
Your elected representatives, the school board members on up, need to hear from you.
Yep, Christians on school boards would be amazing.
Absolutley nothing is more important than your childs upbringing and education... You're raising a future generation.. Do you want grandkids??? Do you want them to be better than you? Any sacrifice you have to make to ensure that happens is worth it..
I've recently come to realize, that by my drive to be a providing parent, I have been duped into paying an outlandish sum of money, only to give power to an enemy to indoctrinate my children.
If you place a cell phone with data into your child's hand, thinking it will keep them safer and you connected to them like a leash, realize, you don't need much worry about what school they attend. That phone will do equal the work of any public school.
Now I have to find a way to withdraw my misguided decision to equip them, so I might protect them.
The World isn't going anywhere. Those ugly rainbow flags are boldly flying everywhere, and they are fully inclusional to exclude you. They represent so much more than what is admitted. The only true way forward for parents, is to 💯% monitor the internet use, or rip the tv off the wall, swap out the smart phones for flip phones, and yes, find a safer school.
So true, I work in schools and just alone the education they receive today is not good. Middle schoolers in the Los Angeles area can’t even complete a paragraph. I was so shocked.
Wow. I'm so thankful that someone had the courage to say what I've been thinking. I've heard so many say, 'My child goes to X school and its conservative.' Any government school is NOT conservative. If they say teach it, they'll teach it.
Except for the thousands of Christian teachers that are in public schools.
@@AL-hz7fg They are limited to what they can say. If the gov't says they have to teach it, they will or they will lose their job. I Spent 7.5 years in the Air Force. I know what gov't regulation is. I've had Christian teacher friends who get in trouble for speaking about their faith or parents complain. It doesn't mean you're going to change the hearts of many. They would be better off raising their own children and homeschooling them instead of sending them to a godless institution. It would better for everyone.
I homeschooled three years and it was the best years of our bonding! I now have a job in a Christian school that doesn’t accept government funding. Great school and great values. We are all going together. ❤government schools are scary and dangerous
No religious schools should ever receive government funding! That's against the 1St amendment.
My oldest son is 41, and left the Church at age 18. And is now radical against the word of God. I home educated him through middle-school. Regrettably, the rest of the time he went to public school.
From what you say here, you did try! I can't imagine how heartbreaking this is. But once they get older, they do what they want. Don't give up hope in praying for him.

Home school and disciple your own kids. Or private Christian school. Nothing is more important than protecting your children, not even additional income.
If at all possible: start a business that your children can work at. Teach your kids the Scriptures and worldview that is based in truth.
Send the pastors and leaders/evangelists of the church during the week when school starts or finishes in the neighborhoods and tell them about the Kingdom of God.
You first :)
What County do you live in, cause in America our Founding Fathers weren't cool with that. No America should want their child indoctrinated by some schmuck while at school. As a parent I might have to teach that Pastor a lesson if he tried that with my child, I'll tell you what.
@@troywest7045 it depends on if it's a true disciples of God or not.
There are so many options for education to be done online at home. Your kids can make friends with the families YOU trust at church and in their extracurricular activities. School is the worst place to let them go off and make friends. Its full of... the public's kids who form their own culture and hierarchy among each other. I don't know why so many people get stuck on the tradition of public school. It is not the best way to go if you want a close relationship and influence on your child.
Amen brothers.
Homeschooling mom of four kids with ADHD…I am bothered by the reference to medicating kids because they can’t sit still. That invalidates those who have a real diagnosis of a condition in their brain that they cannot control. I have three kids diagnosed with ADHD who also have trouble with other processing issues sound, touch also dyslexia and dysgraphia…this is a real problem for these kids. Medicating them is not about getting them to sit still it’s about making it possible for the different parts of their brain to communicate with each other better. It’s about making it possible for them to learn whether that’s at home or in a classroom. I have experienced this first hand with my kids and the immense frustration they deal with trying to stay focused through what most of us would consider VERY minor distractions. I have experienced working memory issues watching my kids struggle with math that I KNOW they actually understand but can’t get out on paper without a LOT of grief. Please do not use that as an argument. It shows ignorance. There are enough legitimate reasons to keep them away from that cesspool that you don’t have to use that one that’s very controversial and hurts people with legitimate disabilities. Does the public school over diagnose? Maybe and I firmly believe that kids with legitimate ADHD will NEVER thrive in the public school setting because the learning style/environment there is almost completely opposite of what a child with ADHD needs. But that’s completely separate from the medication issue.
For the record my kids have all tried ADHD meds. They help a lot but also have their down side. Right now, none of my kids are medicated. I’m not just saying this to defend myself I truly have a sympathy towards the judgment ADHD kids and parents receive. “It’s not real, it’s not a real diagnosis. They’re just bad kids or bad parents or both. “. Somehow we’re trying to change the childlikeness of our kids. That’s just not true. I love my ADHD kids. I love their energy, I love their creative minds but there are things I do not love FOR them. Trouble controlling their emotions, becoming over stimulated in “normal” situations. Not being able to wait in long lines or sit through long dinner conversations so many things you don’t think of that I watch my kids struggle with. By struggle I mean tears, shame, low self esteem, working harder to achieve less…it’s painful to watch as a mom.
We pulled our kids too. Best decision, hands down. Public school is done.
Good conversation and Great Calvin beard btw 😊!

Meanwhile we all pay property tax through the roof for those schools.
I love these arguments and the practicality towards what is actually serving God and family.
What I don’t love is Christian parents crushing other parents who don’t do what they do and pass harsh judgment. As much as they may be correct, the message becomes lost while degrading others for circumstances that cannot be automatically changed instead of allowing the Lord to work on their hearts on his time.
The LORD GOD also did say that the Man is to be the provider and the protector and the woman is to be the keeper of the home.
"compliant" is the key word . . .
💯 correct
There are countries (like mine) where it's a state law and mandate and if you would homeschool your children, they would take your children away and put you into jail....
Agree!
I strongly believe we need MORE Christian influence in these schools, not less. We teach our children to fight back against harmful ideas and to encourage their peers to do the same. This is the time for Christians to make a difference where it’s most needed, not cower in some private school.
You need to go back to school, you obviously know nothing of this Country or it's Founders. You probably think this is a Christian Nation and the pledge always referenced God! 😂
Enjoyed hearing the discussion!
Do y’all know where I can find the study of 8 of 10 millennials leaving their parents’ faith after high school? Be a great one to have in the back pocket talking with people
So how did you guys do it? Did you sell your house and move into a small apartment in the city? Me and my wife both work to barely get by in our house. Even Rent prices are crazy. If yall were in our shoes do you sell the house, sell the cars, and try to live off of section 8 housing and food stamps? I just dont know how to uproot from a typical house in the suburbs to the city. I wrote at all costs on a paper to try and think what do people mean by this....i guess i can see that at the end of the day it would be better to have perhaps not have much food to eat, not be in an overly safe neighborhood but your children are entirely in your care.
0:48 sometimes the only mistake you made as a parent was sending your child to public school
Naw, you just blame the school for your bad parenting.
The thing people need to also do is make sure that you know what curriculum to use. If you don't use a 100 percent God centered. The most important thing is aGod centered curriculum
If you claim to be a Christian school but are using secular curriculum your not a Christian school.
What are your thoughts on Death With Dignity
How can I start a homeschool program for the kids of parents who need to work? Any on in AZ know if this is possible?
I remember youth group. Disinterested kids in God. Drama and dating Parents wondering why the kids don’t love God.
Great interview
And DO NOT take government money to homeschool. If you do, you are just tying your family back to the government. True educational freedom is privately funded, privately taught.
