What happens of course in situations where kids end up going to a public school and they themselves have no solid foundation for which to influence their children to draw closer to God. Then public school can serve as a snare for the children because their parents lack strong a strong foundation on Christ themselves. Prayer with children in church, home, and outside will also make a strong impression on their lives as well as draw them closer to Jesus. You made a good choice.

To me it implies that what works for one family doesn't necessarily mean it is what works for other families. And it reminds me that sometimes what works for our family isn't always the most comfortable, but it is what has to be at that time (referring to the two years I was a working mom). When it comes to school (or when I was working, daycare), which is almost as hot a topic as how to get your child to sleep through the night, I have to keep repeating that to myself, because I don't know everyone's circumstances. I admire that your family realized it had choices. I think several families, even Christian ones, don't realize they have choices. And I think with parents involved as you are, that your son will do fine whatever the environment. The last line of your post really hit it home. "...the battle for who is Lord of their hearts is the same regradless of where we choose to train our children how to live in this world." Excellent reminder.
