Ten Ways to Harden a Child’s Heart Toward God
The link above will take you to an article entitled Ten Ways to Harden a Child’s Heart Toward God, from Perspective, a publication of Cherokee Christian Schools in Woodstock, Georgia. It is an excellent article.
The author contrasts ten principles taught in Christian school with their counter-teaching in the public school system, and then explains what harm can be done to a child’s relationship with God as a result of teaching them to accept premises taught in public education that go against scriptural truth. He is right on target.
And yet, in spite of these very clear differences which set Christian schools apart from their public school counterparts, we still have Christian schools which seek after the same accreditation from the same agencies that place their stamp of approval on the public education system, and they still use the state department of education’s standards for teacher certification to determine whether or not their classroom teachers are qualified.
Trying to be like the public school system will not help you accomplish your goals.

I realize that there are some inherent problems when Christian schools determine that they will only hire state certified teachers. Obviously, if there are major philosophical differences between public school and Christian school with regard to content and approach, and basic truths, then it is certainly unwise to hire someone whose training has been geared toward teaching in public school. Unfortunately, having been a board member of a Christian school for 14 years now, there are few alternatives, and most of our teachers have attended secular universities and received teaching certificates. What are the alternatives and how do we go in a different direction?
