An Apologetic for Home Education in the 21st Century
By Allison Burr In the greatest of ironies, a recent issue of Harvard Magazine has condemned parents being at home with their children all day, even while the governments across America have now required it for the past several weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. My efforts to recast homeschooling in a less-threatening light are rooted in two things: teleology and practice. In the most recent issue of Harvard Magazine, Erin O’Donnell presents Dr. Elizabeth Bartholet’s arguments against homeschooling and her radical call to ban the practice entirely.* Dear me. My fellow 2 million homeschoolers and I must have unwittingly ruffled her feathers somehow, to be subjected to such … [Read more...]
How Children Disturb Society
by St. Sebastian Dabovich The responsibility of parents for their children is very great. They are, in fact, the earthly guardians in custody of the children of Almighty God, their Heavenly Father. Teach the little ones. Yet before their minds are capable of retaining impressions—speak to their hearts, mold them to the form of the beautiful and holy.

Parents provide the best example of a loving, caring, protecting, and authoritative God. In this week's lesson, they also learned of the Ten Commandments, "rules" God provided to us all, just as they all have "rules" provided by their parents. We thank you all for the continued prayers you provide for out little L.A.M.B.S.! … [Read more...]
Moses – Early Life
This week the LAMBS are picking up their journey through the Old Testament with the story of Moses from his birth up to his encounter with God on Mt Sinai. Discussion will be on the difficult task God asked of Moses, and his fear of facing Pharaoh. As the children are very young in our group, the emphasis will be on God protecting Moses and the Hebrew people...much the way their parents protect them. As we have progressed through the Old Testament, the focus for our young LAMBS has been on God our Father. The lessons have drawn similarities between God's relationship with the OT characters, and their relationship with their parents who provide a tangible "model" for them.
