Make Christmas break a permanent break from public school

“…and Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.” You know that line from the catchy Christmas tune. It’s supposed to be funny, but there’s nothing funny about not wanting to be around your children. At least, not for Christians.

The inspired word of God tells us that Children are a blessing, and a heritage from the Lord. Like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, blessed is he who has his quiver full of them! (Psalm 127:3-5) Children are not a nuisance to be rid of. They are a blessing and a heritage!

Sending children back to school after Christmas break is often seen as getting back to normal. But it’s only been “normal” for past century.

How about making home education normal? How about making daily family worship and discipleship normal? Let’s make family togetherness the real “getting back to normal.”

Oh, and while we’re at it, could we make the secular public school system the “alternative?”

Now is the time. Let Christmas break become a permanent break from public school in your family.

I have two very different sons. One has been an extrovert since he could talk. The other has been an introvert for just as long. The thing about home education is that it doesn’t have to happen at home. What it really means is “not public school.” Not stuck in a classroom all day. Not confined to a government calendar. Not a slave to the system. 23 years ago I helped my aunt Kari start a homeschool co-op. At that time, I had one child and she was three years old. If you have a child that struggles to read, read to them. Read aloud every day. That’s the best advice I can give. New year. New house. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: How do I homeschool with babies and toddlers in the mix?? Don’t let people tell you that “you can’t shelter your children.” Yes, you can. And you absolutely should. Mothers have a crucial role to play in society, although their job doesn’t always feel very “crucial.” Wiping baby faces, repeating instructions, settling squabbles, and making food is repetitive and doesn’t always seem important. For 2023, I’ll be preaching the same ol’ message that I can’t stop saying: “education is discipleship,” and “you can do it” homeschooling encouragement. Not gonna make the message easier to swallow when the world is attacking children on a grander scale every day. I’m also not going to tell you that homeschooling is a breeze, but I will keep saying that it’s worth every minute.
