Taking On The Public School System
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, Tennessee, August 17, 2006 - /Christian
Newswire/ -- Taking leads from the likes of John
Taylor Gatto, Dr. Bruce Shortt, and Joel Turtel,
Gena 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,
leading more and more people to consider 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. Keep them
home - finish the race that God called you to. Preserve
their intellect, their confidence, their hearts.
You CAN homeschool. The Old Schoolhouse is here to
help.”
