Do you know what your children are being taught? It is our God-given responsibility to teach our children truth. If we let someone else help educate our children, we still need to know what they are being taught. I love the way my parents did that. In 1983, I was a freshman in high school. My parents would review the books used for the classes to make sure they didn't go against our values. This particular year, our high school decided to switch out the traditional history class and use a different textbook which when reviewed, my parents felt was not in line with traditional family values. They protested and tried to get a traditional class to be offered. It wasn't. I was told by the high school I could not graduate if I didn't take that class. I asked my parents what I could do. They said, "don't graduate". The thought was shocking to me. But with time, I realized it wasn't the end of the world. My parents started homeschooling to teach their children truth - the values they wanted them to have. I started homeschooling as a sophomore and took the GED and ACT to get into college. Nathan and I have chosen to homeschool our children and have loved the opportunity of teaching and working with our children and just spending lots of time with them. It has been such a blessing in our lives.
