Okay, at the risk of being too personal, I'm just going to run through a list of six individuals.

Our oldest was homeschooled pretty much the whole way through.

Our second was homeschooled and then did an early colleges program.

Our third child did the same thing.

Our fourth child did five grades of homeschooling, and then the balance of her education was in the public school

charter system. Our fifth child did homeschooling plus an early colleges program, and our sixth

did private, public, classical. He did pretty much everything.

Did you all remember him? About three weeks of homeschooling. So we've done it all. And there's no doubt that education is a big topic right now.

There's a lot in the news, a lot of public conversation about what's going on.

And this gets down to you, mom and dad, when your child comes home because they heard something

or they were taught something,

and now what are you going to do? Because you don't agree. I'm John Fuller, joined by Dr. Danny Werta,

who leads our focus parenting team. We're going to kick off today with a segment from Focus on the

family with Jim Daly. Jim spoke with Cynthia Tobias, who is an expert in education, and he or she talks pretty plainly

about what kids are facing today in school. Cynthia, welcome back to Focus. Always good to have you here.

Oh, thanks. I really enjoy it. You're such an interesting mix of background as a police officer and

school teacher. Actually, there's more in common.

I was going to say, did you find much distinction between the two?

It has its moments.

Yeah.

And in that context, what we were saying a moment ago is so true, right?

There are wonderful Christian people working in public education.
