Okay - here is the next set (here are part 1 and part 2):

. Is learning a bunch of facts in order to get a good grade really education? Is this how God views education? Does this effect the heart? Where does God say that true learning takes place?

“man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

-1 Sam. 16:7

“making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding”

-Proverbs 2:2

“for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul” -Proverbs 2:10

“Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.”

-Proverbs 4:23

“Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge” -Proverbs 22:17

(Just a warning - the next questions may be offensive to some - but I included them in here because these are the excuses I hear the most from Christians as to why they don't homeschool)

What do we desire for our children? Riches? Success in the eyes of this world? The American dream? Are these the things we desire for ourselves also? Does this keep us at a job away from our kids? Does it keep us from educating them at home? Do we put so much importance on these things that we place getting a secular education to attain them above establishing and building Godly character in our children? Which will benefit them more in life? Maybe you can’t handle that much time around your children because they are already disobedient? Is the public school going to correct that? Should that be their responsibility? Do you want them teaching values to your kids? Whose values will be taught? God’s? Who does God tell to correct children? If we love our children what does the Bible instruct us to do? Where should this character training come from, man’s ideas or God‘s Word? If time and effort are taken to correct this behavior will your children be a delight to you? To others? Again, will this benefit our children? Should this be put off or is it time now to begin retraining your child to obey and have Godly character? Can you do that with the little time you have with them? Are your efforts going to be thwarted each and every day as your children spend most of their time around other disobedient and ungodly children? ? Are there other selfish reasons holding you back? Not enough time for yourself?

“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?”

-Matt. 16:26

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."
- Proverbs 22:6

“for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights”

-Proverbs 3:12
“Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children,
Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.”
-Proverbs: 13:24
“My child, listen when your father corrects you.
Don't neglect your mother's instruction.
What you learn from them will crown you with grace, and be a chain of honor around your neck.”
-Proverbs: 1:8-9

“A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.”

-Proverbs 10:1

“Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction will drive it far from him.” -Proverbs 22:15

“The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother. Correct your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your soul.”    -Proverbs 29:15,17

“Chasten your son while there is hope, and do not set your heart on his destruction”

-Proverbs 19:18
