Ancient Hebrew Education



How does education affect the passing on of the Christian faith? Studies from Josh McDowell Ministries, the Southern Baptist Convention and other places show that 70 - 80% of young people leave the faith who attend public high schools.  The Jewish people have had the same concerns and did a very thorough study showing the drastic effect of faithful education as compared to public schools and compromised schools.  Christian leaders have seen the parallels for Christians.  See if you can understand the chart located at this link and let me kn ow what you think about it and how you are avoiding the traps:  Jewish Educational Choice Effects on Next Generations

Since the most conservative Jews were the only ones who did a good job passing on the faith to the third and fourth generations, I did a literature review a few years ago and wrote the following.  It is a bit long for a blog post, therefore it is linked here: Ancient Hebrew Education

Did you get any good ideas for your own high school education, college education, career planning or future family education plans?

It made me start thinking what will I do with my children, to make sure they stay in the christian faith. The ideas that i got are not original to most christian family these days. It made me want to homeschool my kids until high school. They would probably go to a christian high school. But i am so thankful i go to a christian high school.

I have been in some form of Christian school all my life and I agree, it is definitely a blessing.

This was pretty crazy thinking about this and even more so how foreign some of these thoughts are even to Christian parents. I really liked reading this at the age I'm at still under my parents but a future parent as well. The paragraph I found very interesting was the early education content paragraph where it talked about how their ciriculum wasn't just narrow but their religion applied to every aspect. Everything was taught for a clear purpose. This sounds crazy to some Christians even but that in fact shouldn't be the case and not as many kids would possibly being walking away.

I agree with heather. I think that most Christian Schools just do the math and science and all of there stuff they do, they just have a devotion and a bible verse every other subject. In our School we tie God into everything.

I know Christian school makes a huge difference. Going to Legacy is great because as Stocker said everything we do goes back to God. Public schools don't do that. It is the responsibility of Christian parents to make sure their children are getting a good, Godly education.

It made me begin thinking what will I do with my kids, to verify they stay in the Christian confidence. The plans that I got are not unique to most Christian family nowadays as shared in one of the report published by http://bit.ly/1mUaDiL It made me need to self-teach my children until secondary school. They would most likely go to a Christian secondary school. Be that as it may I am so appreciative I go to a Christian secondary school.
