Why high school at home is vital for Christian families

Blog, Expository Parenting

Nicki is a regular contributor to Expository Parenting Ministries.

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.

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.
