I’ve had the challenge of attempting to engage some Christian parents recently on the topic of schooling.  Homeschool or public school?  In these discussions I’ve noticed a few commonalities, first and most often used is liberty.  Each Christian parent I know who chooses to place their children in the public schools claims that this area of their responsibility as parents is matter of liberty.  The choice to homeschool or not is a disputable matter, a subject on which the Bible is ambiguous they claim.

What I’d like to do is challenge all of us, each and everyone who claims the name of Christ and who has been entrusted with the gift of children, to approach this subject without personal preference or presupposition. If you would, take a few minutes to visit my friend Veronica at her blog, A Quiet Heart.  Read her post, Why We Homeschool – Part 1, then come back and answer this question…

Is the Bible ambiguous on the matter of public school or homeschool?
