Sinopse
Características

When the topic of homeschooling comes up, there often seem to be various assumptions as to why we homeschool our children, which are simply wrong, or, at the most, inadequate. Yes, the government schools have bullies; yes, the government schools might be bigger targets for armed shootings; and yes, the government schools (even the ones in good school districts) have kids or teachers who will teach our children language or experiences that we would rather them not learn that early in life (or at all).And while all those things are true and good reasons to educate our children at home, even if those problems were corrected, we--and many other parents--would still be committed to homeschooling our children.Why?The purpose of this book is to answer that question--and to answer it from the Scriptures.My wife and I homeschooled our two boys, and we would make the same decision again. Our reasons were basically the same ones that Adam Calvert enumerates in Why We Homeschool. Its good to have these reasons set forth cogently in a short book, and I recommend it to everyone who is thinking about this issue. Calvert sets forth powerfully the view that education is discipleship and therefore must be consistent with the Bibles worldview and with its Gospel.--John M. Frame, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, FloridaWhy do we do what we do? This is a question that those of us who take the task of discipling our children very seriously are often asked. Answering that question often turns on cultural, social, or moral concerns. But what this little book succeeds in doing is to steer the conversation to what the Scriptures affirm and confirm.
