I should not have worded my comment to Kelly, the Principal the way I did. I apologize and tone does not always come out on internet writing the way, I want it to.
No, we always get comments on our son’s respectfulnes and always have.
Elitist does not describe me or my family.We are always helping others and do not look down on anyone.
I was in a lot of physical pain when I wrote that, though that is no excuse.
That said, educational heads should still know the meaning of words and how to spell also.
I ask your forgiveness for unintentionally hurting your feelings. God’s blessings to you!

To Lisa;

Wow, I am saddened to see your post to Kelly, the principal. You are critical and egotistical. Not only do you point out Lisa’s faults on a public board, but you are not without faults of your own. I cannot help but wonder what you have taught your son about the use of proper English. Your post utilized no proper use of correct grammatical structure whatsoever. There were no periods, and your use of addressing Lisa was completely absent. Instead, you utilized what has become commonplace in today’s society; the use of the “@” symbol to address another user on a social networking site. Not only is this improper, but the “@” symbol does not call to another individual in an appropriate manner, nor does the “~” symbol play any role in appropriate grammatical structure. Further, by your lack of respect to Lisa, I can only assume that your arrogance at pointing out her spelling errors in her post, that you have taught the same lack of respect for adults and other authority figures in your home, and that you have passed on this same arrogance and self-esteemed attitude of superiority to your son. How sad that he will carry this in his demeanor towards others, rather than holding a character that is Christlike, and subservient, one that is filled with humility for others, rather than an
“I’m better than you” attitude. Good job in pointing out Lisa’s spelling errors. We’re all so very proud of you! You can spell! Good thing you home educated your son! It was probably much better for the kids in the system – that way they weren’t exposed to such an elitist family!

Here is an article that tells about Yahshua. It doesn’t mean what you think it does. This person has everything documented. It is from a Messianic church. It is really blasphemy.Read the article & check it out. I thought it was wrong too at first.http://bethaderech.com/yahshua-yahushua/

This is an article that I knew existed. As a home schooler of eight children sometimes you wonder which direction is the Lord leading. thank you for searching and digging to find more of the truth which the bible has truly given all the benefits of his children. Sometimes we all need a little more help from each other to stay in that narrow path. many blessings.

I love your article. It seems to answer some more questions for me. I have been praying for direction on home education from a Hebrew perspective. Passages from Deut. that Yah has brought to my heart lately combined with this chart of greek/hebrew education has been very eye opening. Our family has studied a fair amount of ancient history through the years and one thing I found about studying Greek myths and philosophy was that we just needed to lightly touch on Greek beliefs enough for the children to know that this kind of thinking didn’t line up with scripture, and then go on, for it bogged the children down. I found that to be true also when studying all areas of other cultures and people groups. Sticking with the Bible as our bases for understanding history and other aspects of education has always proved to be best for it maintains a biblical worldview. Thank yo so much again. Shalom!

it’s good to study the hebrew style and the greek style. just like the scriptures say, there’s not jew or greek. only Jesus is what separates us. no matter whether you call it “hebrew” or “greek”, without Jesus being the center it will fail. someone said they see no merit in studying greek literature but i say that studying greek lit has many benefits. taking every thought captive of Christ is the key. the apostle Paul read greek literature (Acts 17:28). we should study the minds of these people not so we can diminish Christ in us, but so we can learn more about Christ and influence others.

I am very interested in this style of home education. One thing that interests me is the emphasis on the roots of the Messianic age. I wanted to mention that the Name of our Messiah is Yahshua; take the J from Joshua off because it was only added to our language recently and reinstate the Y; here you go from Joshua to Yahshua. It means Yah (as in halleluYAH) Saves, Shua. In acts the book of Amos is quoted in that It shall be that everyone who calls on the name of Yahweh shall be saved. Yah is the shortened form of Yahweh and we know that the Lamb is the sacrifice given to us by our loving Abba. His Name forever unto all generations as a memorial is Yahweh and His Son’s Name was given to His mother to be Yahshua not anything else. At the very least we should be calling in Joshua because we can say the Y for Yahshua, I think that we would honour Him to do so. I wrote more in my book The Narrow Path found on my site.

May peace, healing, and knowledge be blessed to you in Yahshua’s Name!

We were just discussing this very issue last night, right down to your statements about down to Wycliffe and Calvin. You said things so much more articulately and succinctly than I so I will be reading this to my family this evening. Thank you for sharing your insight. Peace and grace to you in Yeshua.

Interesting,I am open to the ideas here, yet currently I feel the case here over shoots a bit. I am a principle at a classical Christian academy. This artical seems to suggest that all things classical are to be discarded. Should we trash the law of non-contradiction simply because it was taught by a Greek philosopher. Do we throw out logic, music, and math developed by Greeks as well? Should we only eat Jewish food too, and not any pagan pizza?

The column on Greek education looks strikingly similiar to today’s mainstream public education. Are you sure we’re not just projecting onto the Greeks what we don’t like about secular education today? Did the Greeks really teach self-esteem and emotional adjustment? I thought that was a modern concept. I also thought that evolution was a modern concept. Enlighten me.

No creo que muchos de aqui entiendan lo que escribiste en español =). Incluso alguno pudiera pedir que pongas tu comentario en inglés.
