Splintering our Education System based on FAITH

As a product of just such an environment I can possibly offer a little insight. Had it not been for my Christian schooling I might not be fully in support of the Theory of Evolution today nor would I have as great an understanding of the Bible or Christianity.In particular, mandatory Bible study when combined with mandatory study of other faiths, religions and philosophies is a great idea.It was also a great place for secularist professors and they would have to be a key component if it is to be anything more than a brainwashing program designed to produce cultists.

One thing that has to be stressed and that is often overlooked in examination of Public School Systems is that the schools have no control over the quality of the raw materials they are forced to work with. Any non-public school system would be expected to do better simply because they have some control over the raw materials. The productivity and performance of students is not under the control of the teachers, it is the responsibility of the parents. If the parents are not motivated to prepare the raw materials, then the product that comes out of the school will be crap.The schools have not failed, the parents have.

That is part of it.The other part is slightly more complicated. Private schools entail a committment on the part of the parents, if nothing else one of finances above the continuing tax based charges for the public system. In the case of home schooling it is the commitment of time, money and facilities towards education.That basic commitment on the part of the parents goes a long way towards warranting the quality of the output. The simple fact that the parents have made a commitment to education, raised it to a level somewhat above universal daycare would likely increase the quality of the output product.
