In Proverbs 22:6 Solomon wrote, “Train up a child in the way he should go."  We normally focus on the second half of that verse, but I've left it out intentionally this time in order to emphasize the first phrase.  Regardless of the outcome, it is our responsibility as parents to train our children in the way that they should go.  It isn't the county's job.  It isn't the state's responsibility.  It isn't the federal government's obligation.  It is the job of the parents.

But how to go about it?  For some people there are really no ideal options available.   But for many US citizens, there are plenty of options.  I (Dave) personally attended 5 different private schools without ever changing my physical address.  They were not all equal, but they were all doing a decent job at the task of educating the children who were entrusted to their care 5 days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

On this episode Dave and Patrick are privileged to host a guest who is no stranger at Grace Baptist Church in Hurlock, MD.  Pastor Bill Kruppa is the pastor of Emmaus Baptist Church here in Plant City, FL.  Like Patrick, Bill was ordained at Grace.  But Bill has spent about 23 years as an educator, both in the classroom and at times in administration.  Listen as we discuss the best and worst options for the education of our children in 2021.
