:nono: you can't compare the two...
Exactly kmoney!

Truthman: If you wouldn't do that, then why would you let them do missionary schooling?????
Have you read the OT story of Hosea and Gomer by chance???
I know of couples who were unevenly yoked and their partners have been saved...thankyou Jesus!
Erinmarie: Not the 'real world', but the world manufactured by the teachers, principals, aides, bus drivers, school nurses etc...etc...
Mmmm...sorry, but that sounds like the 'real world' to me EM.
My children were both sheltered and protected by their father and I...not flung to the wolves. However, the 'protection' we gave them was that of having a loving home to come back to once the school day was over and included in that was the chance for them to tell us what had happened during their day and for us to help them find ways to deal with the reality of living in the environment they were in and how to help change from within things that may not have been right for them and others.
Protection also came from us as parents discussing with the relevant teachers anything that was detrimental to our children's growing into the caring, confident, Christian individuals they have both managed to become, even though Publically schooled.

OK, so, just because somebody in the Bible did something, that makes it OK for everyone? If that's the case, then I'm off to build an ark.

The story of Hosea and Gomer had a spiritual lesson tied to it, namely, that God was again taking Israel, His whoring bride as His wife. That has absolutely nothing to do with today.

I grew up and attended all my schooling in a nice little suburb. I wasn't exposed to the evils of an inner-city school.

Before I entered high school I had: witnessed 2 drug raids, a girl escorted by ambulance from a school sponsored chaperoned dance because of alcohol poisoning, and walked in on a guy and gal having sex.

In high school I learned how to "safely"" have oral sex by a school sponsored sex-ed assembly.

Years later, my sister was locked in a classroom for hours while her co-workers and friends ran for their lives at the neighboring Columbine high school.

I choose not to expose my children to that.

BTW, missionaries are trained before ever going out amongst the natives.

And that is your choice. Of course, the events that you outlined above are not everyday events that happen in every Public school.
By the way, yes, missionaries are trained before going out to do their trips etc, ( it wasn't me who brought 'missionaries' up though, BTW} but God calls us all to be missionaries to the people of the world we live in...just as the disciples were untrained Fishermen become missionaries. :)

If that's what you want to do, then go ahead. Should be fun!
Hey, let me know when you do and I'll get a magazine to come and do a story on it. ;)

Wanna hear about what I saw at a good parochial school?

No side's completely clean. Schools are schools. Put a bucket of teenagers together every single day and hell will break loose sooner or later.

Now, I think you are understanding why I homeschool my children.

I was home schooled till ninth grade, I know the reasons behind it. And I think it's a good idea for some people but not everyone.

Y'know, an interesting expansion to this thread would be to address the issue of "raising thugs".

I spent my formative years in a military academy, so unbridled thuggery is not unfamiliar to me.

Can't we change the thread title.. It seems so harsh...

Na.
One thing I learned from my older brother was that sometimes getting to the point (even if it is blunt and harsh) is much more effective than beating around the bush for hours.

You have problems with Anne Geddes babies?
Do you yell "Slut!" to the 1year old girl running around in just her diaper?

Awwww!!! I love the Anne Geddes babies! I decorated the girls' room in Anne Geddes posters.

I think there's a big difference between beautiful, timeless and classic photos and brash and blatant 'trendiness'.
