I so appreciate this perspective thank you. In regards to Mellissa’s comment. I don’t agree that we (the parents) should be sending our children to public school to be the Christians there. How can I as a parent send my children, who are young in every way including their faith, to be “lights?” We as adults don’t even have strong enough convictions to be good Christians in the world. I do not believe my children should be asked to do something that they don’t even fully understand. There is a lot of life to live after the school years (though it may not seem like it) to make a difference as Christians. I believe there is no greater environment to learn about teamwork then in a fully functional home. Blessings, Rebecca

I’m currently being home schooled, I’m 14 years of age, and daughter of a missionary pastor. My point of view in things is that just because the rest of the world is secular, that does not mean we stay away from them. We are to learn to be with non Christians, and share the gospel with them. It is true what you said, but i don’t quite agree about home schooling being better. We (the children) need to learn to be with other kids. To socialize, be able to work in teamwork, and be a difference as Christians. And i don’t think we can achieve that without going out there and seeing how things really are in the secular world. That’s just my opinion. And by the way, god Bless You. i really enjoy reading your posts, they’re a blessing to me, and im sure to that a lot of other people.

God bless you, Mrs. Mimi Rothschild!
We applaud your God-given wisdom, boldness, and, courage.
May the good Lord continue to reward and increase your godly endeavors.
When we train up our children in the way they should go, the Lord promises un His word, they [the children] will NOT depart from it when they grow up. And, the scriptures cannot be broken!
Shalom!
