Altrogge writes, The
danger, however, is when we take a good thing and we turn it into a
moral thing. When we make a good thing into something that other
people must do if they are going to be truly spiritual. All of
us are tempted to do this. A lot of it has to do with our
experiences. I was homeschooled growing up, and I see both the
spiritual and educational benefits of homeschooling. But, I need to
be careful that I don’t start to believe that homeschooling is
morally superior to other education methods. I need to be very
careful to distinguish between principles and practices. (For the
record, I send my kids to public school.) The principle is
that parents must raise their children in the fear of the Lord.
Homeschooling is one practice for accomplishing that. However, I
also know many godly parents who have raised their children in the
fear of the Lord through the practice of sending their kids
to public school. These parents are just as committed to their
children as the parents that homeschool.
