I don’t know. I went to a private preschool and kindergarten, where I did activities that I ended up doing later on in middle school.

I guess God started the foundation early on?

Let’s be honest! I’m surprised I’m still alive today sometimes for a lot of the self-destructive, really dumb things I did throughout my life.

Education must first start with the parents of the child. Their purpose is to prepare the child in first how to relate to others as well as finding out on a daily basic what the child is, if anything, they are learning in their school environment. In this day and age if I had a child, I would home school that child!!

Parents NEVER!!!! EVER!!! LIE to your children!! For if a child cannot trust his or her own parents who in the hell can they trust!! Hence the parents are so very important!! The first lesson to a child is to never lie! Example! When I was a child, I was told as many are that there was a Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, tooth fairy, etc...

I had many fights in grade school to defend my parents, and when I found out they had lied to me about all this, I never believed them ever again! Now to most parents this seems like no big deal, but it sure effected my life from then on to this very day!! They taught me to lie!!! So, beware parents, once a lie is started it is very difficult to stop! And once it is found out you have lied to gain the trust of that person is nearly impossible! (Proverbs 12:22)

I agree with homeschool.

You know how many times I’ve caught my own mother lying to me? I still catch my mother lying to me to this day.

Who can they trust? God/Jesus, that is all anyone can trust.

I think little lies like that affect every child. Lying period, makes people not trustworthy.

So right ATSTD!! One of the hardest things is through our Jesus to forgive them!! I have of course, but they are both passed on now. Any lie which is found out is indeed terrible! Truth is also very hard!!! Ask Jesus!!! Look what truth did for him!! BUT!!!! TRUTH sets those who can trust in that truth being set free from it!! I grew up in a very tough neighborhood, and truth really helped me!! All one has is there every word!! So, one's word means everything to others!! AS you very well know!!
