Here are some notable takeaways:
1. Scripture uses the word "paideia" for the term academics. And God instructs the fathers to be the Biblical Counselor AND teacher of academics. The takeaway here is contradictory to what we all have been digesting. Which is that the government schools (experts) should be teaching the academics. ๐คฏ
Biblical Reference - Ephesians 6:4
2. This one is really hard to not experience cognitive dissonance with. The government (public) school structure and philosophy is structured for culture and experience by men like John Dewey, Karl Marx, the Prussians, etc. with ONE goal at hand...to DESTROY the family unit by creating a dependency of peers rather than a dependency on family with children trusting and respecting their peers over their parents. How did they structure this? By putting 30 to 40 students of the same age in one class. Sound familiar? ๐ซฃ John Dewey exterminated the 1 room school house, Karl Marx replaced home education with social education, and 85% of parents in today's culture believe they should outsource academics to government (public) school "experts".
3. Your Biblical Theology of Government should answer whether there is a right way or wrong way to Biblically educate children.
