Well if we want to look at this from a purely biblical perspective then there is no need for public schools because parents are supposed to teach their children. Opps did I step on someone's toes here? Are we too busy living unto ourselves that we forget the first and foremost responsibility of parenthood is teaching our children how to live in this world.

Our society has far too long been chasing after the almighty dollar that we decided it would be far easier for us to ship our precious ones off to an ALL DAY NANNY then to have to raise them and teach them ourselves. OH BOY do we need master craftsmen training up apprentices in this world. A father taking his son under his wing and teach...

Well if we want to look at this from a purely biblical perspective then there is no need for public schools because parents are supposed to teach their children.

Our society has far too long been chasing after the almighty dollar that we decided it would be far easier for us to ship our precious ones off to an ALL DAY NANNY then to have to raise them and teach them ourselves. OH BOY do we need master craftsmen training up apprentices in this world. A father taking his son under his wing and teaching him all that he knows so that he can grow up to be even a better craftsmen then himself. NO we decided that it would be far better to send our children off to institutions and pay someone to teach them something because we are too busy making money to be concerned about something so insignificant and beneath us.

The same can be said about shipping our elderly off to warehouses where they can be taken out of our hair so we can continue to selfishly feed our greed demon. Shame shame shame on us.

I vote SHUT them all down. Take responsibility for our own and raise up our CHILDREN properly. Be responsible for your own children and elders. That is the biblical mandate.

But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
