Session 16: Successful Education

Bill Gothard

Description

The ultimate goal of education is not to produce a degree, but to produce many godly generations.
God charges parents and grandparents, not teachers, with the responsibility to train their sons and daughters.
God established the home, not the school, as the primary learning center; the school and church must be recognized as extensions of it.
The most destructive force in school is peer dependence, and parents must constantly work to protect their children from it.
God wants the priorities of every family to be built around daily engrafting of Scripture, rather than accumulating man’s knowledge.
The ability of sons and daughters to stand alone is the result not of rules, but of principles thyat assure a superior way of life.
When knowledge is learned before godly character, it produces pride and arrogance.
Parents who teach sons and daughters at home must be accountable to a local church (Christian school and the government).
Sons and daughters thrive with appropriate responsibility, and it is God’s goal that they be mature in their youth.
God gave boys and girls differing aptitudes; when children are taught together, boys are programmed for failure.
When schools group children by ages, older examples are cut off and rebels usually rise to leadership.
When the Bible is separated from courses, the contents come under the control of human reasoning.
True socializing takes place not in the arbitrary groupings of school, but in the real world of children-to-adult relationships.
Valuable learning time is lost in school; two hours of home teaching is equivalent to six hours of school teaching.
The key to effective education is not just a trained teacher and a professional curriculum, but a concerned parent and a motivated child.
God has set a limitation on learning; thus, academic freedom is no justification for studying the details of evil.
