Is homeschooling for religious reasons only acceptable parenting? Or should there be multiple reasons?

Question

I have seen alot of you lately Moon Unit! You just might become the first Atheist added to my network. :-)

Answer 1

"Can the installation of Christian Theology be done at home successfully without removing the child from public school?"

Yes, of course it can, if parents would actually spend time with their kids.

But here's a nugget that may blow your mind... I'm an atheist homeschooling mom.

Answer 2

Many times the parents are the best teachers for their own children.

Public school is provided by public taxes. So, is less expensive & there are some really good public school teachers.

I think this should be a personal decision based on if the parents think they could be a better teacher than what is available in the public school system.


Then there is the option where the child can learn from a school environment & also the parent teach a daily lesson at home. Maybe to help the child with their school lessons and to cover things maybe the school is shorting the students in.

Answer 3

No. The public schools and parochial schools both have merit and are both appropriate depending upon the circumstances. If a parent's priority is teaching religion, they have a responsibility to start at home and also opening the door to religious education through the church. The parochial schools can teach great social skills, but so can responsible educators in a public school.
I chose parochial for my child because the public school that was the only option based upon where we live is terrible - poor scores, discipline problems, etc. I teach him religious values at home and take him to church. We are not judgmental or rude people with poor social skills (in response to a prior answer) - it isn't as black and white as some of the folks have answered. It's a group effort to raise our children the right way and it all starts at home.

Answer 4

This is such a strange question. I homeschooled my 3 sons because I wanted them to LEARN. Public school is set up for the slowest person; any one even a tiny bit faster (smarter, whatever you want to call it) is being punished by being held back. In junior high, we had workbooks. I had completed everything by Christmas! In 8th grade, I was evaluated at a sophomore college level. Doesn't say much about school, does it?
So, for me, the main reason to homeschool was so they could learn.
Another reason: so they could avoid the bullying, crude behavior and all that that is displayed in public school. It is far worse now than then.
Religion was a small part of my decision to homeschool. After all, when I went to school, we said the Pledge of Allegiance every morning, we had prayer every morning. Public schools were bad, scholastically, morally and everything else, but compared to now-a-days, they were saints.
Question: why would you want a Christian to be educated by Atheists, Communists, Darwinists, Fascists, etc.?

Answer 5

What I like about public schools is other children can be influenced by my children. I know I have instilled in my children what they need. Because they have a close relationship with God they have the power to withstand bullies, they show respect to others, they have brought others (adult and child) to God.

I feel I can not shelter my children but I can give them the tools to fight the Good Fight.

Remember: a true Christian walks with the Lord...they spread his word. Where else can a child do that? Public School needs my children.

Answer 6

You believe this revelation of the past, gift and future of the history of the life? Until it shows the the opposite?
Then! Cientificamente you cannot deny true the historical one of this philosophy: Beyond the Universe the life also is infinite in the Land, and all the species also the man have certainly ancestral origin, where the pursuing of the life (for the future) results in an arrival to the past of Daily pay-History; e that finishes in return to the gift of Our Historia.

I circulate that our alternating History of Daily pay-History is happened again infinitely.

Answer 7

Grace (not law) unto you, and peace (not division),
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus -> Christ.

Train up a child the way a child should go, of child/man.
The way a child should go? Neither broad nor narrow!
A narrow way isn't life, it only leadeth to life, by "go on":
Broad Way <- Narrow Way -> More Excellent Way
Destruction <- Destruction or Construction-> Construction
Law worketh Wrath<- Law or Grace -> Grace is Sufficient.
New and dead way <- Death or Life -> New and living way

Home Schooling of X-ians tends to draw back to perdition,
rather than go on unto perfection of the new and living way.

Home Schooling of X-ians is about a new and dead way,
the dead end way of another law, of partiality and division.

Home Schooling of X-ians tends to make a child "worse":
one proselyte: twofold (grace + law) more the child of hell.
Said children of said adulterers impute sin for the hell of it.
Said children of said X-ians Hound people like mad Dogs.
Said literall-ists & fundamental-ists made Atheism popular.

Let there be LIGHT(ONLY)... and there was LIGHT(ONLY)

The GRACE(ONLY) of our Lord J->C with you->all. Amen.

Answer 8

Yes it can, but I can tell you this, I'm homeschooled and I am very happy about it, and you can learn social skills by going to a homeschool group. It is kind of stupid to homeschool for religious reasons only.

Answer 9

Most of the egocentric, sociopathic cretins meet are home schooled. Its a terrible thing to do to a child. They never learn to properly socialize with others. If you want your kid to know something, tell them. Don't keep them out of school because you're afraid that they will be "brainwashed" by the government. Maybe the reason so many kids stop going to church is because you push them too hard.

And can you think of a scarier phrase than "installation of Christian Theology," because I can't.

Answer 10

sure
as long as you keep the child connected with your church as well
they then can interact with their public school buddies and touch their lives with a positive christian image
however they will also be exposed to things that u may not want your kids knowing right now
