Do you know what that means?

If you do not you had better google it!

What Works . . .

"Parents have a natural and unalienable right to educate their children, publicly and privately as they see fit, and that right should be recognized and encouraged."
-Ronald Reagan-
President of the United States

"The statist notion that governmental power should superced parental authority in all cases because some parents abuse and neglect children is repugnant to American tradition."
-Warren Burger-

Former Chief Justice of the United States

"Parents are their children's first and most influential teachers. What parents do to help their children learn is more important to academic success than how well off the family is."
-U.S. Department of Education-

"Parents should choose the form of education they want for their children."
-William Bennett-

Secretary of Education

Train up a child in the way he should go . . .

. . . and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
So . . .
. . . The LORD our God is one LORD:
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God
with all thine heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
And these words, which I command thee this day,
shall be in thine heart:
And thou shalt teach them diligently
unto thy children,
and shalt talk of them
when thou sittest in thine house,
and when thou walkest by the way,
and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up.
~Deuteronomy 6:4-7~

Jesus said,

"Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and obey it."
