The takeaway from these findings is not meant to encourage people to become more religious or to promote religion in schools.

The Reformer John Calvin argued for universal education, saying that every child should learn to read and write, gain abilities in math and understand religion. Martin Luther taught that teaching the Bible and the way the world worked would allow a growing relationship with God. In the 1780s the modern Sunday School movement began as Robert Raikes began teaching overlooked and poor children. Many of the oldest and most revered universities were started by Christians, including Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Oxford, and Cambridge. Wisdom involves putting the Lord as our primary priority. It is seeking His will in all that we think and do and say. To have wisdom also implies having a Biblical worldview – we will see things through the lens of the Bible. We will see the world as God sees it, and conduct our affairs with a gospel focus. Well, my friends, I will leave you with this important question. What is God’s will for your family?

I’m at a crossroads where my kids are older and feel led to focus more intently on interests they want to pursue instead of busy “academics”. I’ve been frustrated with trying to get everything completed in time instead of trying to discover their passions.

She has learned that many plants have medical qualities, and some are derived into essential oils. After battling an illness in her twenties Julie turned to natural remedies to return to wellness.

Sociologists have spent decades studying how factors beyond students’ control – including the race, wealth and ZIP code of their parents – affect their educational opportunities and achievement. The violence has changed since state and federal governments stepped up enforcement against overt racial terrorism in the late 1960s and ’70s.

She gives multiple examples from field trips and nature walks to living books and hands on crafts.
