Parents of the near future will have to become teachers at home in addition to any schooling a child receives. Seems things are no longer being taught in school anymore.
If you do not teach your child, they may get wrong information on the “street” or not have the information when they need to use it. If the parent does not teach their own children of these things, then the child will need to teach themselves of such [at some point of their life].
Some are:
- Sex Education – a person does have a sexual choice even as a child. [There is a choice even if one considers homosexuality wrong and ONLY God has the right to say no to it. – One should teach a child that with any sexual behavior there are consequences — even spiritual death or disease .]
- Cursor Writing – [one might to read things written in the past when cursor was widely used]
- Basic Math skills that are manual [in case there is not a calculator available or it malfunctions]
- Spelling [ in case there is not an online dictionary available] or in any case so the correct word is to be found or know when it is found]
- Ethics [not what businessmen or government relates as successful behavior]
- Morals [not what businessmen or government relates as successful behavior]
- Values [either family or religious] – the difference between good and evil and how to choose which to actually do in life
- Ability to say NO when needed and to DETERMINE the consequences and being ABLE AND WILLING to deal with them
- Ones rights vs other people’s rights and parameters of each
- Civics – both governmental and community
- History [aspects that happened that are truly history – such as slavery, which happened, the Holocaust, which happened happened [not Jews fault], the Bible is real and truthful [what God’s way really is], and many other things
- Books should NOT be burned even if a specific person or group does not want them read. Others have the right to read what they want to read. A child, when old enough [16 or above] has the right to choose their own reading material.
- Your child is loved and accepted as is. [not negating that an axe murder or molester is wrong] A person has to take the consequences of their own choices in behavior, concepts, reading, and/or sex.
It should be noted that one cannot use God to do your will even in concepts. You should do things God’s way and do HIS WILL.
If you do not believe or teach your child about God or Family Values, then both you and the child must be ready to accept the consequences.
