While
many parents are preparing to send their children back to school, Gena
Suarez is doing all she can to make sure parents are aware of the
reality of what is going on in the public school system.
White Pine, TN (PRWEB via PR Web Direct)
August 17, 2006 -- While many parents are preparing to send their
children back to school, Gena Suarez is doing all she can to make sure
parents are aware of the reality of what is going on in the public
school system.
Taking leads from the likes of John Taylor Gatto, Dr. Bruce Shortt, and Joel Turtel, Suarez, Publisher of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
and homeschooling mother of four, is daily blogging stories of the
horrors and inadequacies of the public school system. She and her
husband, Paul, feel strongly that it's time for Christian parents to
wake up and see what the public school system is doing to generations
of children.
Studies like the 2002 Southern Baptist Church's Council On Family Life,
report that roughly 88% of Christian kids from Christian homes are
leaving the church shortly after graduating from high school. Gena and
many others believe that having the kids in the public school system is
the main cause. It matters little, according to the above study,
whether the kids are in public, private or even Christian private
schools – the results are the same, which leads more and more people to
see that the common thread is the "away from home" factor.
Coupling those statistics with the anti-Christian atmosphere in today's
public schools and news of student and teacher misconduct, Gena paints
a picture of the public school system that is hard to ignore. While her
posts may anger some people, more often they remind homeschooling
parents of the joy of having their own children “Home Where They
Belong.”
Gena says, “Parents: Keep them home where they belong; they're yours,
gifts from God, and He will hold you responsible for your choices. Say
no to preschool, say no to public school altogether. Say the biggest no
to high school - don't 'undo' what you've worked so hard for all these
years. It's a lie that 'they're ready now for the world' once they hit
ninth grade. Most will abandon their faith in the end, no matter how
convinced you are that 'no, they'd never do that.' Most will adopt a
socialistic or liberal-minded philosophy to one degree or another. Many
will be bullied or preemptively become bullies. Don't make the biggest
mistake of their homeschooling years. Don't do it. Keep them home -
finish the race that God called you to. Preserve their intellect, their
confidence, their hearts. The Old Schoolhouse is here to support you.”
