The Children of Caesar

i live in northern ireland, he was preching in my church this morning. amazing

Saintpine,
He said K-12 (kindergarten through 12). He came to our homeschool convention and spoke and the man is awesome and annointed. He is a certified scholar and extremely genuine.

Are government schools in the US really anti-God environment ?
He says "from 8 thu 12 children spend 14000 seat hours in school !!"
That is nearly 10 hours/day everyday including saterdays and sundays, 365days per year, that is torture, so he must be mistaked, or I heard wrong.

K-12 not 8

Freedom is not being FORCED BY ANYONE to put their kids ANYWHERE.

And by the way, when our nation was that way, we were the most literate and well educated. Children not only knew English, they were also taught Greek Hebrew and Latin as well. You see, the Puritans wanted the next generation to know the Scriptures and walk in its truth, and this required a high degree of .literacy, not just in English, but in the other languages I mentioned as well.

THe high school grads of the last fifty years couldn't make it out of the second grade of the Founding Era.

And the high school grads of the founding era could not could not make it out of the second grade now. They would have no idea how to use a computer. I took early American English lit and it was a hard class. People don't talk or write that way anymore. Most people I know hated reading the scarlet letter. My dad happens to love that stuff. I have a hard time with the leather stocking tails.

Your comparison is false. Knowing how to hit a few buttons is easy, and plenty of contemporary Americans can do that. Even monkeys can learn to do that.

But being highly literate and versed in multiple languages is something else altogether. Unlike todays Americans.the children of the Founding era were not only taught the Constitution, but they could analyze politicians and their policies and quickly see who was trying to undermine it.

I only used what you gave me. You brought up teaching multiple languages not me. Just so you know I grew up in a family of history buffs my comparisons hit the nail on the head. Just so you know I had to teach the constitution in a class and all I want to teach is math.
Oh and by the way schools give kids the right to information that people like this try to keep them from learning. I think we have come a long way from old school houses.

Yeah thats why so many kids ran away from the Puritan communities. And no most kids started working at the age of 12 before school was required. The first union walk out was led by a 13 year old girl. We live such a comfortable life stile because of public education. I do agree that everyone in the US should know at least two languages. I wish I knew Spanish and French. Oh and by the way I became a Buddhist. No one made that choice except for me. That is real freedom.
