Thank you chicago24 for your last post. I appreciate that your interest in the topic led you to research for further information and to post again. My hat is off to. To correct my possible miscommunication, I did not mean to imply that all homeschool children test at the 90th percentile, I just meant that in our specific case, they do. Although academic achievement is an important component, it is not most crucial. What is most crucial is answering God's call to do this. Trust and faithfulness in that call is what we are most dedicated to. God has blessed that faithfulness by growing too wonderful people who call us Mom and Dad. It doesn't get any better than that!
Chicago24, I registered to specifically respond to your comments. They were unfortunate. My wife and I have chosen to educate our children at home. We are following God’s call to raise people who will stand with Him against the ever-shifting tide of cultural standards in society, of which one is the belief that only people with a “teaching degree†can properly educate children.
Although they know the Lord, don’t buy into the latest “cultural†trends, test in the 90th percentile of all students tested in the country, are well-adjusted, well-spoken and engaging individuals, I know you are absolutely right that a person with a “teaching degree†would have done a much better job.
I am unsure if you did this just to invoke a response or if you really believe what you wrote, but either way, I am hopeful other readers will see your comments for what they really are.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
