I would say: teaching with a Christian Worldview. That means according to the truth, the revealed will of God in Scripture. If that is truly done, all the other things you've mentioned will fall into place.<br />I'm always inspired by your contemplations, Karen!Jarm Del Bocciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16734893974122730211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782184219903173846.post-85218187139523381392012-03-02T17:50:28.358-08:002012-03-02T17:50:28.358-08:00Life at college is not the real world.

Worse, administrators are disdainful of parents who remain involved with their young "adults," even though they may be footing the bill. Christian parents are often looking for an institution where authorities reinforce the parents' standards, and with good reason. Secular schools may have authorities antagonistic toward faith.<br />The best schools would teach their students how to think, how to discipline themselves, and how to shoulder responsibility even when it's not fun. The best parents would, too. But for now, a piece of paper often allows a graduate to gain entry into a workplace where they may learn these things, as they spend years paying off their student loans.Marcia Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586663754114504782noreply@blogger.com
