So, why are so many choosing home education? Well, the pandemic meant many of us were educating our children at home. Some found this almost impossible, but many actually found their children learned better, free from the pressures of a factory-like school, free from the relational pressures school can often bring to their children. Many found their child's mental health improved. Many with special educational needs found they improved better than they ever had at school. Others saw what their children were actually learning and some of the sex education with its LGBT content or some of the English texts, some of the role models the children were being given, all of these things shocked parents into realising what was actually being taught in their schools. As well as learning at an accelerated rate, the evidence shows that those who are home educated are safer at home and better socialised even than those in school, stuck all day in just their narrow peer age bracket all day. They are also much more likely to follow in the faith of their parents. Parents are recognising that the post-industrial factory-style education system with thousands moved from class to class, hour by hour, with the focus being on economics and the job market, this does not value children for who they are. Unique sons and daughters with a purpose in Christ. Christian parents especially are increasingly understanding that the education of their children is a God-given responsibility given to them and are prepared to make the sacrifices necessary to put their child's education as a priority. So if parents prayerfully look at the options around and they truly know what the schools are like, the question should probably be why are there not even more Christians home educating? You
