The lesson learned: Just because people mean well, want to serve God and know the scripture well does not mean that they are always right when interpreting what God wants from his followers.

What the writer has gathered from his study is wrong, I believe. I believe that it is not only faulty logic, but it is also a misinterpretation of Bible teaching.

Too many times, Christians try to twist the scripture to meet their desires. Whether it be passing off holidays as sinful, holding that multiple classes are wrong or any other type of restriction that comes from a logarithmic progression of gray areas, the result is the same: Man trying to help God out with His rules. God doesn’t need help.

Personally, I have no problem with home schooling. I will admit; however, that I do have a problem with the belief that every parent is capable of doing an adequate job. A Christian parent is responsible for spiritual teaching and should be equipped to fulfill that role. Not every parent is adequate to teach their child math, science, geography, English and etc. It isn’t for me to judge for anyone but myself whether or not that is O.K, but I do have the right to observation. My observation is that parents had better consider long and hard about what is really best for their child in the long term. The answer for every family will be different. Finally, I have three kids in public school and will have four in next year. My kids have had teachers that I didn’t like much, but not yet have one of them had that I thought was incompetent to teach the information (that’s over 15 teachers). I really dislike some of the required area of study, but I can teach my kids right from wrong and how to think on their own—I don’t need to be worried about them being brainwashed.
