will never blend in with those demonic creatures that attend the Government
Schools. J iz

Actually, my youngest daughter (22 years old) has
told me why she has decided to NOT hoime school her children
.......... and it is for much of the same
reason as seen in the opening line below. She told me
that each of the eight friends she had at Fresno
Pacific U (who were all home schooled) had a very difficult time
getting along with those in the school or "fitting in."
My oldest daughter (38 years old) home schools
up to junior high age for the same reason.

While it may be noble to want to keep one's children pure and innocent, a loving parent who
overly protects their children will end up with kids acutely susceptible to the
ills of the world.
That is like saying a gardner who overprotects his PRIZE
flowers from weeds and pests will end up with flowers that are acutely
susceptible to it!
Prize Flowers are to be handled with care preferably in a safe environment like
a greenhouse.
Allowing access to your children to those things that
would mean to do them harm is a foolish philosophy
The Next Generation of Leadership
The most important people are the ones that history
glosses over and such is the case with Home Schooling families. The presence of
kids who were Homeschooled in the 1980s and '90s is beginning to be felt more
and more in our cultural life. Dr. Brien Ray did a fascinating study on
homeschoolers and found that 73% of homeschoolers
18-24 vote compared to 29% of all people their age. The voting percentage goes
up to 95% for people above age 25 and they're three times more likely than
their fellow citizens to give political contributions. 74% of homeschoolers have taken
college courses, compared to only 46% of the general population. Ironically, homeschoolers who
were predicted to be social misfits, are more active and involved in their
community's politics than the general population.
Parents who chose to make extraordinary sacrifices to ensure
their children aren't led astray by the dominant culture are getting
extraordinary results as 94% of homeschoolers are holding to their parents religious
beliefs.
The Homeschooled kids of the '90s will be the leaders of the next century
because of hard work, sacrifice, and loving families. I was homeschooled, but
am hardly the best or brightest of the bunch. I never thought about it much as
a kid, but having been around both homeschooled and public school kids as an
adult, I'm struck by the general courtesy, kindness, and advance vocabulary of
homeschooled kids. They're a shining beacon of hope in this present darkness,
and a reminder of God's abiding faithfulness.
And the nay
sayers said "O NO how are they going to learn to Socialize?"

Not necessarily;
being over protective through fear is one thing. Teaching children
spiritual discernment in the fear of God is another because then the parent has
His power and watchful eye on their side.
I see it similar to communicable illnesses. You
could raise your kid in a bubble and he would live a germ/virus free
life. But once he enters the real world, he would be extremely vulnerable
to catching a slew of nasty bugs. Isn't it much better to allow your kid
be exposed to such hazards so that he can become inoculated against the ravages
in the strength of his youth than allow such illnesses to eventually attack
later in life when one is perhaps more vulnerable?
This is what the
wisdom of the world teaches. But we are fearfully and wonderfully made
and God has given us an immune system which should be able to throw off
anything that comes our way when not compromised by sin.
I see that somewhat as an analogy to the tree
knowledge of good and evil. I hope that makes a little sense,
Terry. (Though I'm sure some TTers will take exception.) FTR....I
don't think that is the sole reason for the
tree though.
The trees
in the garden DaveH are the two kinds of wisdom. The tree of life is
"pure, peaceable, and full of good fruit" and this is the tree God
wanted His creation to eat from. The other tree - the one the serpent was
promoting - is earthly, sensual, and demonic. So take your pick.
One leads to life and the other to death.
