Why high school at home is vital for Christian families

Trading public school socialization for more time in mature pursuits with their parents will put your teens on the fast-track to Christian manhood or womanhood.

While their public school counterparts are being daily catechized in the world’s idea of sexuality, selfish ambition, feminism, humanism, atheism, and woke ideology, your teen could be daily catechized in God’s design for men and women, Christian living, the Fruits of the Spirit, and God’s definition of wisdom.

It’s no secret that the high school years are filled with hours upon hours of school and activities. If a teen does any extracurricular activities, they will be at school before breakfast and often not home until bedtime. If they also have a part-time job, they end up spending almost no time at home with their parents. Friends, this is not biblical.

How often are teens counseled by everyone except the parents? High school counselors, college counsellors, teachers, coaches, and peer groups have the greater influence, because they spend the most time with your teens. Think about this one. Are these people teaching your son to be a godly man, a loving husband, an ethical worker, or the head of a home?

Today, public education focuses on history lessons by race or gender, instead of teaching a systematic history of world events. Science is basically a joke, as children as young as first grade are taught that gender is a social construct.

Copywork is a valuable language arts teacher. By simply copying the writings of other men and women, we are able to mimic correct spelling and punctuation, proper grammar usage and sentence structure, and gain a wider exposure to vocabulary in its context. Choosing meaningful text adds another layer of learning by seeing, reading, and writing words that matter. Copywork works well as a supplement to your favorite language arts curriculum, or as a stand-alone review of English mechanics. “Rather than society influencing the home, it ought to be the Christian home influencing society. Righteousness brings beauty of character. Character creates harmony in the home. Harmony in the home brings order to civilization, which makes peace on earth." (Karen Andreola) And Christians are called science-deniers. My son and six of his friends graduated from homeschooling today. There's always some discussion going around this time of year about whether you should finish a curriculum, or end the school year because you're ready. I'm going to give you my two cents and disagree with the popular refrain. Todays post for the #villagewellchats is about being patient when you can’t do all the self-sufficient things. 👈🏻 That’s me. I’m a homemaker at heart, love the land, the garden, and the DIY, homemade life. While you're choosing your curriculum for next year, keep my Knowledge Keepers series in mind! There are 11 books in the series now, and several include free study guides: I will be sharing homeschooling encouragement near Tulsa next Tuesday! Education is important. Discipleship is important. When you have to choose, choose discipleship first.
