Why haven’t churches supported homeschooling and family-directed education?
Some churches have been very focused on building their church programs and think (wrongly) homeschooling is a tangent to the ministry. Many in church leadership work during the week as teachers, administrator or staff at local public and private schools and have a bias against homeschooling. Some churches may be afraid to support home education for fear that some members of the congregation will leave. None of these are biblically-founded reasons for not keepiing parents in charge of their children’s education. 3. Is working through Family Academy necessary to be legal? No, though it does help provide some legal protection and key support to start homeschooling and keep it going over the long haul.
