Sallie,
I read each of these. They are excellent, thought provoking articles. Thanks for sharing!
I give a big amen to the We Need Less School, Not More. I have heard and read about the ideas that Arne Duncan, our Secretary of Education, is promoting. It’s scary. There is a definite push for schools and “community” to take the place of the home. Obviously that was never God’s plan. That article was very well articulated, and it caused me to think once again of how precious family is.
Have a great week!
