Again this week I was subjected to a lengthy diatribe on what is the matter with public schools in America and the usual conclusion that the removal of public prayer was the cause.
First of all, as stated in Matthew 6:6, Jesus was not a fan of public prayers.
Secondly, the failure of all government entities to sufficiently fund public schools, teachers, buildings, salaries ad infinitum, is the major reason for the sad decline.
Thirdly, parents who note the decline and are able or willing to remove their children to private or home schools, significantly depletes the corps of parents who can or will participate in their childrens' school.
And, lastly, no one chooses to make it an important enough battle to step up to the plate, not local governments, school boards, or parents.
Therefore, it is really valuable to teach your "still in public school" kids to pray (silently) for help from God because all the public brow beating is not doing any good at all. And, if you can find the time, get to their school and pitch in ... because the teachers who remain committed certainly could use your help.
