It is easier to "coast" and be a hermit family as homeschoolers, than it is for those involved in a good school, where edifying student relationships with peers are "given" to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685744.post-72379865387248392552007-05-27T21:03:00.000-04:002007-05-27T21:03:00.000-04:00Did anyone else notice Doug's uncharacteristic lea...Did anyone else notice Doug's uncharacteristic leap in logic? I agree with everything he says right up to, "It also needs to be centered in Word and sacrament." But his train of thought leaves the rails immediately after this. He says, "If the kids are homeschooled, there are ways to arrange for this, but it takes work." Huh?<BR/><BR/>How exactly is it difficult for homechool families to be part of a covenantal church community? Is there some special problem that homeschoolers have with joining a church that is magically ameliorated by joining a school?<BR/><BR/>His comment about homeschoolers makes no sense. The institutional Church has nothing to do with a family's schooling choice (apart from declaring the necessity of an explicitly Christian education).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685744.post-22460068387976661672007-05-22T08:58:00.000-04:002007-05-22T08:58:00.000-04:00Steve,Have you read the book or is this a Wilsonia...Steve,<BR/>Have you read the book or is this a Wilsonian recommendation?<BR/><BR/>I agree with his point and the good caution that families are not the all-important aspect. In conjunction with that, Wilson frequently uses the "egg" illustration wherin families represent eggs and the church an ommlette. "One cannot make a good ommlette with rotten eggs." So, I believe it is important to work on developing excellent eggs, but in the context of making a world class ommlette!<BR/><BR/>Press On<BR/>JKClurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210126069743748577noreply@blogger.com
