I just finished reading a book called Upgrade 10 Secrets to the Best Education for Your Child by Kevin Swanson. Here are some things he said in the book: Education is not neutral. The minds and souls of children are at stake. If we refuse to give our children an education that is firmly rooted in a biblical worldview, eventually we will lose our families, our churches, and our cultural, economic, and political institutions. They will drop into the ash heaps of history.
The words of God must be a part of every aspect of the child's life. It should be the desire of all parents that they communicate their faith to the next generation. Are your children receiving a basically humanist education thirty hours per week and a Christian education for two hours on Sunday?
The goal of education is not to increase knowledge, but to learn to properly apply knowledge in the living of life. About 90 percent of life is relationships, and about 90 percent of relationships are family relationships. Relationships is really how to change the world. A successful education will include excellence in communication. A child must learn to communicate clearly and persuasively. Education should prepare a child to think, read, write, and speak. Children learn better/well when they are nurtured, when you hold them on your lap and kiss them. The most profound progress in education is achieved when parents or mentors have gained the hearts of their children.
Well, this book is loaded with some great information. I actually checked this book out from the library. You can go here to check out the reviews on the book. Here is a funny video by Kevin Swanson.
