Yes, some children and teens might be effective witnesses to their peers in public schools. The balancing truth is that this often comes at a tremendous spiritual cost to that child. <BR/><BR/>I’ve taken your advice and have started working on a post that deals with your question in more depth. I hope to show how rather than a lack of love or compassion for others, in the long run, the converse is very often true for homeschool graduates. <BR/><BR/>Affectionately,<BR/>AnneAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050188794675868871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9283473.post-27185247171425299862008-07-15T22:34:00.000-04:002008-07-15T22:34:00.000-04:00Hi Anne,So glad you are posting again.

I missed your posts but imagined you were busy with the wedding. <BR/><BR/>My biggest reservation about homeschooling is this: will it hinder my children's ability to love the lost in our own neighborhood if they have limited opportunity to have relationships with non-Christians? I don't worry about traditional socialization, but rather about teaching compassion (versus "tolerance") for people around us lost in a non-Christian worldview.<BR/><BR/>I think I have a response to most of the non-Christian objections to homeschooling but I'm still grappling with some of the objections I hear from Christian families I respect.<BR/><BR/>No need to respond at length, I just thought you might address it in a future post.<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>Lydia CarterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9283473.post-22573903187415991282008-07-15T22:18:00.000-04:002008-07-15T22:18:00.000-04:00Oh Amy, I wish I was truly wise as I teach and dis...Oh Amy, I wish I was truly wise as I teach and discipline my children! Too often I just try to deal with them quickly and move on with whatever we were in the midst of. That day the Lord just made it so obvious what was going on in their hearts that even I could not miss it.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050188794675868871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9283473.post-89633906255679941262008-07-14T23:41:00.000-04:002008-07-14T23:41:00.000-04:00What a great post!
