Schooling Options
For the past 3 years or so there has been an ongoing discussion in our house about schooling options for when Ethan starts kindergarten. Some may wonder why there would even be a discussion since we live in one of the best school districts in the state. Many people move to our area because of the schools. Be that as it may, it's been a conviction on my heart that the kids have a Christian education. My husband and I both have experienced public schooling as well as Christian schooling. There are indeed pluses and minus's to both. I am also open to the option of homeschooling, my husband however is not. I have enjoyed working with Ethan on reading, writing and math skills at home and believe I would enjoy homeschooling. Thus the discussions we've been having. My husband would prefer that we take advantage of the public schools and I prefer either Christian school or homeschooling. We have another year yet to come to an agreement and so I've been praying for the Lord's will in our decision. (I think I may have worn him down a little because he seems more open to the idea of a Christian School:) But for now the discussions continue...

I just have to comment on this post because education has been the hot topic in our house as Ben is starting Kindergarten in the fall. We went round and round between Christian and public education. We debated moral, academic, and financial aspects (We pay extremely high school taxes and felt we might as well get something for our money). For us, it came down to the fact that Ben is currently thriving in a strong Christian pre-school. He is memorizing scripture, sharing prayer requests with his class, etc. We feel the positive reinforcement and Bible teaching he is getting is so good that we want to continue it at least for elementary school. Just thought I'd share...
