It is a world in which Jesus Christ beckons each of us into a relationship with Him. It is a world in which the values and teachings of the Bible have merit. This is the world children should adjust to. Placing our children in a government institution five days out of every week does not prepare them for life in the real world. Home schooling is education in the real world.
Every child needs to develop skills for interacting with others of different ages and backgrounds.
These skills include respect, patience, forgiveness, faithfulness, kindness, gentleness, self-control and concern for others. These are the same regardless of where children are educated. These skills, and other mature behaviors, are best learned from mature people who demonstrate them consistently. Recent studies have shown home educated children to be just as socially adept as children from public schools. However, there was a noticeable difference.
