Who's Disciple-ing Your Kids?
One hundred years ago, Laura Ingalls Wilder didn't have a single arrest the first year she taught at her school on the prairie. Yet, schools in suburban areas of modern cities see an arrest a day made on school grounds. Laura didn't see lesbian activity in the hallways of her one room school house. No sex abuse cases either. Yet, reports of such activity are not unusual in high schools, and even junior high schools today.
A mere 200 years ago, Thomas Jefferson recommended the Bible and Watts hymnal for curriculum in Washington DC schools. Today, a teacher in Mount Vernon, Ohio is on the carpet when somebody found a Bible on his desk. He swears he didn't open it, read it to the kids, or try to give anybody an education in the fear of God!
Still, parents everywhere insist that their children attend a good school! The problem is, nobody has a clue what a good school would look like. The frogs in the pot hardly sense the rise in temperature anymore.
