I’ve always believed that a child’s first teachers are mom and dad. Most parents understand their role during their child’s preschool years. But once their child begins elementary school, many parents defer a lot of educational responsibilities to teachers and administrators. In short, they step back and let the professionals take over.
Tragically, that’s a dangerous thing to do these days. There is growing dissonance between parents and once-trusted public school systems. Traditional teaching curriculum have been replaced by alarming agendas of liberal politics, social justice, gender confusion and even sexual exploitation.
We recognize that there are many Christian public school teachers who strive to be a positive influence, and we appreciate their passion and sacrifice to be a witness for Christ, but they are limited in what they can say or do.
Cynthia Ulrich Tobias, our guest on our Focus on the Family Broadcast “Putting Children First in Education,” says the responsibility for your child’s education rests on mom and dad. Given the growing crisis in public schools today, you can’t afford to go on autopilot.
We discuss:
- Educational options for families today.
- Different learning styles and strengths, and how those will help children be more successful in learning.
- Why it’s important for your children to be taught in an environment that aligns with your values and convictions.
- The liberal, even immoral, policies, indoctrination, and social agendas in many public schools.
