I can already hear the indignant "none of your business". I'm just trying to help people avoid making a mistake.
Sadly there are a lot of great, social, religious schools, and many of the evangelical Christians (not as varied as you suggest, but mostly being strikingly similar*) are more likely to throw out the social component of school and homeschool them or put them in a tiny school that not only lacks the resources but also often lacks the sense of responsibility most parents have.
* FWIW they're among the most vulnerable to televangelists and megachurches
- all2 4y agoOh, I didn't mean my (GP) statements to apply to what you said (GGP). I apologize if I came across that way. I agree with you, raising children is harrowing, and doing it well is difficult. Somewhere else in this thread I mentioned home schooling co-ops as a way to spread the burden. There's a lot of benefit to having community, which is something that evangelicals often lack.
- benatkin 4y agoYeah they should be careful not to neglect having community. Like, at least every semester, think about whether there is enough community. And don't use something they did in a past semester as an excuse for lacking community in the current semester.
