Home School Religion

Each child is different, even in the same family.  In good schools we know this.  In math, science and reading, we teach the same age children differently, depending upon their talent and intelligence.  If not, the sharp ones will get bored, or the dull ones will feel over their heads and become frustrated.  But in religion, the church schools teach everyone on the same level.  Simplistic teachings can satisfy one person, but be preposturous for another.  As with other subjects some children are just smarter, more insightful, more questioning, more challenging, than others.  Religion, like food, does not have to be boring.  It is often in the presention and ingredients.  My religion is quite interesting, deep, and challenging, but I had to leave a lot of the Catholic school religion classes behind.

  1. kind of like the new priests from the seminary--they have to leave a lot
    of that behind so they can grow

    1. If only so many of them DID grow! They are so arrogantly sure theirs is the only and absolute truth that there's no room for growth!
