No one seems to bring it up here (why?), but the #1 benefit of homeschooling for my family is faith-based education. In the US, approximately 2/3 of homeschooled children and the three most popular homeschooling curriculum providers are explicitly Christian. I love it that my children, and increasingly the children of others, have the opportunity to be brought up in God's instruction. It is not up to the government what my children believe or how they're educated. I hope this trend keeps growing!
- HWR_14 5y agoI wasn't aware Christians had their own math, history or literature. I've been made sadly aware that some Christians have their own read on science (evolution, geology, apparently virology and epidemiology). So I guess my question would be, what is "faith based education"? I suppose as long as it's not causing you to abuse your children and you aren't getting public funding, I don't really care. But I will say, any "God's instruction" that can be undone by secular exposure for 7 hours a day, 180 days/year seems to be extreme enough that I worry it veers into the "bad for the child" zone.
