Government schools are not just indoctrination centers for The Party’s perversions and lies. While good, godly teachers do their best to protect our kids, these places teach in the exact opposite way one would instruct children if it were your goal to create people capable of acquiring, using and communicating knowledge for the betterment of their world. Where kids from ages K-5 have brains ready to be formatted to store knowledge using rhymes and repetition, government schools force teachers to crack their brains with teaching that destroys their ability to store knowledge by emphasizing grievance and contradictions. By the time they get to college--if they get past the race-based exclusions--they have been robbed of a solid base on which to become more skilled learners and communicators and are, instead, test-takers and box-checkers. So, what is a parent or grandparent to do?


Were I to live life again, I would never have stopped homeschooling our daughter. Learn from my failures: I suggest a modified version of un-schooling based upon the Classical Trivium. That model of learning is specifically designed to present to kids and young people information and instruction for which their brains are attuned at a given age. Un-schooling is learning through life, through doing, interacting, building, creating, relating and exploring. It is not, as ABC News pretended, allowing kids to do whatever they like whenever they like. “Black Dad” on YouTube does a brilliant job of explaining why and how he leads his family this way. Un-schooling with a Classical Trivium model would require a home with proper books, good music, art and the tools to create art. Kids and young people can use as much of that as they like with lessons coming from interaction with parents and other adults. Cooking, for example, is math, chemistry and art; it can also contain language lessons, geography, writing and reading work. Likewise, music is math, history, language and can be a fun study of cultures.

The Bible is all of the above and more, as it is the very Word of God.

What does God say?

As much as we want to raise brilliant, happy, successful kids, the Lord assigns parents one primary task--a task I wish I had better understood how to complete as a younger man--and that is to raise godly children.

Deuteronomy 6:7

You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.

Deuteronomy 11:18-21

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 20 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, 21 so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.

Proverbs 22:6

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
