I agree with what you are saying and the sad thing, the lesson is gonna be learned but in the hard way for I honestly do not believe it is gonna get much better and if people would read and seriously think about what the Bible is saying, they would see a whole lot of stuff coming true and this book was written many many years ago, God does and will reign and unfortuanetly some people are gonna learn it the hard way but in the mean time, I will do everything in my power to teach, guide, and direct my children to love God, to make wise choices, to respect others including authority and to stick up for what they believe regardless of what others think and as much as I think it is sad, the pubic schools just do not do this right along with some parents,this is why the violence is so high in the schools, why students can over power teachers, and even the problems such as obseity and unactive kids, just not enough positive encouragement, role models, stability in a childs home and even in some schools.
I am sure there are good schools out there and I believe there are good teachers in every system but over all the public school system just doesn't cut it for various reasons and one of those reasons also, it hink is the over crowded classrooms, too many kids for one teacher to handle and to teach, I personally like the smaller setting, and I love the fact that the office staff knows every child by name and are there to greet my daughter and the other kids, it is agood feeling to walk in and know that some one is aware of the school surroundings, I love the idea of homeschooling but have chosen the Christian private settign for now and my daughter is doing awesome and we are well pleased with the atmosphere and education and that to me is what is imporant, parents must be aware of what is going on and in a lot of cases tehy do not for whatever reason and to me that is sad.
Whew!! That post just hit a sore spot with me. I had to vent. ( sorry ). It just infuriates me that the kids cant have nothing to do with using Gods name in school ( pledge, prayer) but yet, this one state ( probably others too ) is having those types of materials there for the kids to read. I feel that if they are gonna have those books there then they ought to have "The Book of Leviticus" there also for the kids to read as well. But what I really dont understand is , these teachers have so much to teach already, so why are they making them teach "king and king?" I feel that , that is the parents job to do on if they want to teach their kids about "king and king" or the Bible. What a parent may be teaching at home about the Bible, the school is going against their wishes by teaching something that the family may not believe in or want their kids exposed too. That is confusing to the child when the parent says it is wrong, and the school says it is ok. Another thing, my 6 y/o son came home from school last week telling us that he learned at school that if we were to ever spank him, he can call the police. We dont spank, we do time outs anyway, but right here , this example, is one reason why kids are like they are now a days. Kids can over power their parents.
What I mean by " take God out and the devil moves in", is I also feel that is why there "is" so much violence in schools and not just schools but everywhere. I know "some" can deny God if they choose and "some" can believe in homosexuality if they choose. To each their own. Times were so much easier and safer back in the good ole days. What happened?? Something happened.
