The Homeschool Family

Amnazing 2 year old geographer

This girl is not even 2 years old yet and she has the world map down better than most adults. It's amazing what kids are capable of if taught. This should encourage all us homeschoolers to go go go!

Public School - The Church of Humanism

There is no such thing as "secular" education. The State, Public Schools are religious. They teach and preach the religion of humanism. The humanists admit this over and over:

"I am convinced that the battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the school classrooms by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the spark of what the theologians call divinity in every human being. The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new - the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all its adjacent evil and misery and the new faith resplendent in its promise." - John Dunphy, "A Religion for the New Age," Humanist Magazine.

"I think that the most important factor moving us toward a secular (Non-Christian) society has been the educational factor. our schools may not teach Johnny to read, but the fact that Johnny is in school until he is sixteen tends to lead toward the elimination of religious superstition. The average American child now acquires a high school education, and this MILITATES AGAINST ADAM AND EVE and other myths of alleged history." ― Paul Blanchard, Secular Humanism pg. 18

"Education is thus a most powerful ally of Humanism, and every American public school is a school of Humanism. What can theistic Sunday-schools, meeting for an hour once a week and teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a five—day program of humanistic teaching." ― Charles Francis Potter, Humanism: A New Religion

"Every child in America who enters school at the age of five is mentally ill, because he comes to school with allegiance toward our elected officials, toward our founding fathers, toward our institutions, toward the preservation of this form of government... patriotism, nationalism, sovereignty... All of that proves the children are sick, because the truly well individual is one who has rejected all of those things and is what I would call the true international child of the future." ― Dr. Pierce of Harvard Univ., Lecture to teachers in Denver, Cob. 1973

The Real Teaching of State Schools

“Though you’re basically good, you’re ultimately a product of your environment. And that environment is telling you that you’re no good because your life (and the life of everyone else) is meaningless, pointless and futile. From dust you came and to dust you shall return. And in between, well…do good, although we have no measuring stick by which you may judge if you’re doing good or not. There are absolutely no absolutes. The one thing we know for certain is that nothing we know is certain. So, turn on, tune in and drop out. …if you want.”

Learning to Count and Knowing What Counts

Learning to count, by itself, means nothing if you don’t first know what counts.
That is why true education, according to Noah Webster, “…comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations.” (Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary)

Gary North once wrote an article advertising a Christian college. The article showed a dejected father who had sent his son off to a secular college. It’s stated: “I spent $40,000 to send my son to hell.”

Even Martin Luther foresaw the danger of so-called "secular" education… “I am much afraid that schools will prove to be the gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place their child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which men are not increasingly occupied with the word of God must become corrupt.”

"Can I come"

Whenever I go towards the front door of our house, on my way out, it never fails... I always here one of the following phrases from one or more of my kids: "where are you going?" and "can I come?"

R. C. Sproul Jr wrote: “My son always delights to run errands with me, another opportunity for both of us to learn. When you understand that school is all of life, there is more opportunity for the husband and father to be involved in the homeschool.”
