the dynamic social environment of the school is a good learning experience for kids . sheltering kids way too much is not good. it needs to be a balance. I don't agree with the SJW st*ff i hear is entering the school, but I am not sure how well it takes hold, with how ruthlessly anti-gay and anti-weak the other kids are. (when I was in school - a public high school in California, a teacher righteously used physical force on a student and got away with it , we were given the Bible to read in 9th grade English , the PE teachers were very mean as well) - this was around 2010. I will admit public high schools, do have a huge teenage alcoholism and drug problem.
a bit of exposure to people trying to take advantage of you , maybe not as extreme as robbery/mugging makes for a stronger character.
The issue is that you don't just have that "dynamic social environment" to deal with, you also have the teachers actively trying to instill terrible values in your kids' heads. And they combine that with heavy social pressure from other kids to think in a more emotionally driven, heart-on-the-sleeve way that drives them toward more Satanic, liberal beliefs.
"No" is a Christian word, not a Satanic word. It is very hard for young people to say "no" to what their appetites desire. Yet, if their itching ears are taught that "yes" is good, Satan will win their souls for a good number of years.
We at RVF are all too aware of this. Many spent their young years chasing women for easy, casual sex. It was the "cool" thing to do, and it felt good. We didn't stop to think about the larger picture. Or if we did, we simply shrugged, saying among ourselves, "enjoy the decline."
But if we had a better culture surrounding us, a culture of Christians who also studied ancient knowledge and wisdom, as through the Greek literature and folklore, could we have avoided such years of living under damnation? If we were taught of God, of virtues, and warned of the wrong turns our ancestors took, and if it were not only men instructed in such things but also women, also instructed to be fair, modest, honest, tempered, and to always smile and curtesy in the presence of men, could we have avoided the traps that ensnared us in our prime years?
Also, in terms of raw, quantifiable education, public schools are an absolute toilet. Homeschooled kids outperform public school students by a long shot on tests. Why let your kids not only turn out evil, wicked, tormented, battered, abused, but also
stupid?
