Just a thought...

I've been reading quite a bit on the controversial issue of homeschooling. It was interesting to read all the different opinions of that very issue. Some are all for it, some are on the fence and some are completely against it.

My thought is this.....

When did we put the well-being of our children aside and take up the act of arguing the issue? What would happen if each individual stuck to the real issue....training up our children as God directs us to. What it comes down to politically is money; not the kids themselves.

The other issue is that even though God gave us a free will and mind to think, if we sway from what some call 'normal' and do it differently even though we get to the same end, we are looked upon as weird, wacky, and strange. If we stuck to the real issue which is our children, then it wouldn't matter so much how they got their education...just that they were educated. And perhaps we would not be trying to get the other to see how very wrong they are.

In my opinion, we as parents, are the very best people to train our kids. We know them best...we know their likes and dislikes. We know their strengths and their weaknesses. Why not pour our wasted energy that we use to argue the point into our kids and train them up in the way they should go according to God's principles...not according to the world's principles or the 'John's, Mary's and Sue's principles of the world.

Again, this is just a thought....take it or leave it.
