without their prior knowledge and assent/permission, both in UK and USA and also elsewhere it seems, Christian parents over the years have been duped into aiding and abetting and paying for their children to be taught errors, lies and anti biblical truths - see for yourself via google check out

Juniors = google [Fact vs Faith]textbooks..........Seniors = www.EvolutionvsGod.com


is it any wonder todays children and yesterdays children/todays adults are confused and mixed up and fall away from the faith of their fathers - wincam

Yes, the United States Supreme Court (1963)

removed prayer and Holy Bibles from public education.

Today, college graduates don't have enough knowledge

to understand academic theology

or enough faith to believe scripture .

(1) Do you have data for this?

(2) Does your data actually show a relationship between removing prayer and Holy Bibles from public education and a lack of understanding academic theology and faith?

What's impressive is that an 84 year old is as proficient on the computer as you are.

At the same time prayer and Bible Study were removed from public education; the curriculum was altered so that kids were no longer taught how to reason, or critically evaluate information; or what masquerades for it.

Now it is cursive writing that is being eliminated from the elementary schools.. I have recently come across some California teenagers who cannot read cursive. Is this just in California?

Since I'm in the process of writing the entire bible in script, it might be worth millions - in about 200 years? If anyone can read it. At any rate, I love to write. There is a flow to it that just isn't in printing. It will be a lost art.

More and more education such as critical evaluating will need to come from the parents in family discussions. However, I think I learned more from books I read than I ever did in school. And that was 50 years ago.

Are today's children reading everything they can get their hands on that has value? I don't think so. That is sad.

Cursive writing? Is that where you write bad names to each other?

The worst of it is that the attack on American primary and secondary education was intentional.

The American Humanist Association, in the early 1950s decided that their best chance of discerditing the Church was to take over public education; and the Church was too ingrown and asleep to stop them while they could.

I learned cursive deemed it useless except for signatures and went back to normal print until laptops became the norm. My dad never wrtoe cursive and he is Senior Vice President for a major national bank. Guess overall it was a waste of a course.

For a few decades fellow employers have been hiring as many private school grads as is practical. Most of the time it isn't necessary to ask whether they are publicly or privately educated, as there is generally a wide gap in overall communication skills, personal appearance, sociability with adults, manners, ability to read and write maturely, capable of using math without a calculator, confidence, and much more.

By contrast, I've only seen less than a dozen public school kids capable of filling out an employment application on the spot. They need to take it home, which isn't allowed, since we have always required ability to read and write intelligently. One way to avoid wasting time on a poor candidate is to use enough advanced terminology on an application so that they can't remember the questions, then come back with answers from a teacher.

We would like to keep only Christians, but being privately educated doesn't seem to make much difference among students because each has a different church affiliation, and what happened at home can add a huge factor of conflict we call "false dualism". A child can attend a church school K-12, but if their lifestyle is radically different at home, they will likely be on par with a secular applicant. The difference is in education, quality education, private schools tending to avoid "empty" courses, maybe best defined as like an "empty caloric" drink doesn't supply energy.
