Children spend more than twelve years in school in one way or another. As innocent grade one students, they hopscotch to their classroom, perhaps annoyed that they cannot read yet after their first day in school. Teenagers worry about school and its related social issues, especially personal acceptance. Possibilities for the future often seem to depend on how well we do in school a diploma can open doors. Young adults experience a range of emotions and worries about themselves as persons, and about their future careers.
Parents also live with the fact that school demands much parental attention.
There is potential conflict between the family and the world. It is not an easy matter for mom when her little darling hops enthusiastically out of the car, and, seeing her classmates, runs off without a goodbye. If they would, he would not fall behind. In addition, Christian parents are also continually confronted with requests for support of our Christian schools. We might find ourselves involved as a school board member or a committee member.
