The Impact of Peer Orientation in Education: A Crisis in Self-Government and Intergenerational Mentorship

An intruder has loomed on the horizon for decades, slowly inching
its way toward our homes, toward the hearts of our children. A
handful of educational prophets have called out into the wind
throughout the last century, but parents have either looked the
other way or stomped their feet at the enemy, hoping a carnal
tactic would give them advantage in a decidedly spiritual battle.
Today, the fallout is clear. Students lack the self-government
that is derived from a healthy parent-oriented attachment and are
driven instead by a modality of peer orientation. Their lives are
void of opportunities for intergenerational wisdom, correction,
encouragement, discipleship. Join Dr. Lisa Dunne as she unpacks
another toxic trait of the public school system: the annihilation
of self-government through an insidious attachment to
peers.
