When we create bubbles of Christian thought in the middle of chaos we introvert and only focus on ourselves and forget the greatest mandates of our faith “love thy neighbor” and “go unto all the world making disciples”.

In the end we will look just like them, and that is a bad thing.

All I can say is, public school keeps kids from being sheltered in a bubble.

When I graduated high school I had the option of attending Biola University. I decided not to even apply.

While I say it’s good for Christians to learn and to learn with each other, I also have to say that we live on a planet full of different people and different beliefs. It’s one thing to study with other Christians. But it’s another to be constantly surrounded by nothing BUT other Christians. How else are we to go out of our comfort zones if we keep ourselves isolated all the time?

I hate to say this, but that Christian school I went to ended up going bankrupt and closing down. The pastor cheated on his wife and embezzeled funds. And then most of the kids I knew who went there, grew up to be the biggest hypocrites I know.

Christians shouldn’t be afraid to be out in the world. How else would you or your children get strong? Hiding your kids from temptation that they’ll end up facing eventually??? You just got to raise them to be strong enough to simply say, “No.” It only makes them stronger, as a person and in their faith. We aren’t ever given to face a temptation that is stronger than us anyway.

Her argument bites.

At the 10th grade level I was expelled from my christian school because I challenged their stance on not questioning the pastor and my teachers.

I question all sorts of things but that’s what I feel the Bible instructs us to do, and not be robots.

I went to Public SChool for 11th and 12th grade and found it a much better learning environment, and more credible teachers.

I definitely like both in some ways, but the public school was better organized and if you wanted to work the system and get into a big college, you could get it for free.

Oh well. I can’t say that it works for everyone.
