They must not leave their children with any excuse for thinking that parental responsibility is something mom and dad improvised. Children should understand that taking on mom and dad also means taking on their Father who is in heaven. One day the knowledge that traditional and home schools promote will pass away. We want them to be able to earn a living and take care of a family we hope God will give them. Some homeschooling parents who rushed to start homeschooling forgot to assess their strengths and weaknesses, and the drawbacks that homeschooling will impose on their freedom.
Some parents doubt their intellectual or academic ability to teach their children.
Parents model wisdom in humble dependence on Go who gives it in power and love and discipline. A willful child who rejects a teacher's authority can stop any kind of schooling dead. The issue of effectively educating a rebel is not who teaches them, or where we teach them. The issue is the heart, not the brain. Those who do not fear God despise wisdom and are fools, no matter how many degrees from prestigious institutions they win.
