Freeing the Captives: Ten Toxic Traits of Public Education

There are many powerful reasons for breaking free of the toxic
teachings of traditional education. And it's not only about the
overtly soul-less content found in the public system. As Ken Ham
has pointed out, many of today's Christian schools are also
failing to produce thinkers, doers, disciples. More often than
not, according to Ham's research, Christian schools have simply
mirrored the methodologies and ideologies of the secular system.
They walk like a public school, talk like a public school, and
think like a public school. They’re like a secular textbook with
an “I Heart Jesus” bumper sticker slapped on the front
cover.  And why? Because most of the teachers went to
secular institutions and are simply parroting the information and
methodology they absorbed in their own humanistic classrooms.
Instead of creating a spirit of wonder and gratitude--two
emotions that should fuel the transformative experience of
learning--modern classrooms are stifling creativity and impeding
the Great Commission. As Neil Postman puts it, education and
school have become mutually exclusive. If we want to positively
influence the trajectory of today's students, it’s time to take
back the reins. The next generation needs active, engaged mothers
and fathers to lead them to greatness. The future is family. Join
Dr. Lisa Dunne this week to learn what we can do to get involved
and to equip those in our realm of influence to free the captives
and help the next generation find hope, purpose, and direction.
