A Christian Philosophy of Education
The educational philosophy of the public schools could hardly be called Biblical. The public schools have largely abandoned even feeble attempts at transmitting culture and literature. Now their goal is simply to make students employable in the workplace and thus their focus is on the most basic, pragmatic skills. As Christians, we need to think about why we are educating our children and what responsibilities the Bible gives to parents. Our goal should be to help our children acquire wisdom and godly character. The way we teach each subject needs to be examined in the light of those goals.
