I’m with Cindy. You have to take it one step at a time I think that we, as parents, get too fearked out about this. While the school your child attends and what kind of schooling is important, what is FAR more important is parental involvement with your kids and what they are doing. It’s not even necessarily involvement in the school if a parent is engaging their child, has taught them how to be responsible and passed on a love of learning and has their child’s back, then a child has the deck stacked in their favor.Sam, I think we could compare notes about schooling experiences I, too, went to private school, public school, and a small private school which was almost like being homeschooled As a children’s ministry leader, what I’ve done to help parents as they sort through all of this was to approach it from a coaching perspective. I did my best to empower the parent and encourage them as they thought through their options. I tried to keep the ball in their court and help them to consider all options as objectively as possible. Of course all of this flowed out of a relationship of trust that had already been established with the parents.I look forward to reading the rest of this series.
