Another word of wisdom:

A lady friend and I were discussing issues about schooling last night.

The subject was brought up whether one should homeschool, send kids to private school, or public school.

Here's what she went by when she decided on which school to send her children to while her children were growing up:

Luke 2:52 - "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men."

Word of Wisdom

A word of wisdom from a lady I recently talked to at our care group concerning schooling:
"If we choose public school, the pressure is on the children; for homeschool, the pressure is on the mom (traditionally speaking); as for private (christian) school, the pressure is on the dad (traditionally)"

Eventhough, the main influence that we each have in determining which school to send our children should be through prayers and God's provision beside our human analysis, I still find it useful to talk to different parents who have been there and done that.
