41.9 So, is the cost of Christian school tuition really worth it? When we pay tuition, room, and board every month, we are buying many “tangible” goods and services for our children.... We are also purchasing many “intangibles,” such as a warm smile or a kind word. Our children will spend much more time with school staff than they’ll spend with us during the school year.
41.8 Interestingly, some children equate school with “prison”—a place with rules and expectations that stifle their freedom to be and to do whatever they want whenever they want. However, parents and educators alike would agree that good conduct and order are essential both at home and at school.
41.7 God is the Creator, and we are mere creatures. He is the Potter, and we are the clay. We have been designed on purpose for a purpose, and ultimately that purpose is to glorify God in every area of our lives (1 Corinthians 10:31).
41.6 I have written that Bonnie and I are committed to “cradle to grave” Christian education for each of our four children. So you can imagine how intrigued I am by conversations I hear from time to time about the importance of Christian education.
41.5 What a vivid illustration of the number one distinctive of Christian schools in training students—that each of them will grow up thoroughly prepared to love and serve Jesus Christ.
41.4 Have you ever wished, as soon as you spoke, that you could stuff your words right back into your mouth before anyone heard them? I've had that experience.
41.3 How privileged we are to be able to entrust our children to the care of dedicated Christian educators.
41.2 The Word of God is living water! Students in Christian schools drink freely from streams of living water as they are taught by teachers who love
Jesus.
41.1 As parents notice their children’s gifts, skills, and
personalities, those parents give each of their
children a bent as they provide encouragement
and direction based on those traits.
