And learning within the family, from the parents, from the God-ordained root of life, learning and nourishment for the young saplings around our table, cannot be downplayed as to its importance. Now that we have established our grounds for homeschooling, we have the delivery end of the equation set on solid footing. We chose classical education for our children because it is the best method out there for producing truly educated individuals. We believe at CCH that parents that homeschool for any length of time at all are benefiting their children, and parents that homeschool through high school, yes, even with classical education, are benefiting their children immeasurably more. However, I do not mean to give the impression that content is unimportant.
Content is important, especially in classical education.
If a parent is lacking in their own education, they have a responsibility to continue their education, so that they can do the job of teaching even better. A student will not be greater than his teacher, so the teacher has the responsibility to be as great as he can be, with the help of the Lord. But this is a doable thing. As parents, we can learn and educate ourselves. The greatest teachers in the world, in the form of the Bible and the other great books, are available in any bookstore for any parent to read.
