Family
Holistic Education ~ “a philosophy of education based on the premise that each person finds identity, meaning, and purpose in life through connections to the community, to the natural world, and to humanitarian values such as compassion and peace.”~ Wikipedia
Good Sunday morning dear friend! As you may have noticed, our world is in flames. As I was thinking about two very different TV shows my family watches, this morning’s Tune-up began to materialize. The conversation we had at the dinner table last night was the ultimate catalyst that sealed the deal!
As I read the story behind the quote above about what is happening in Scotland, I thought to myself, how does any loving parent turn over their children to some nameless and faceless bureaucrat? I guess that’s what started me thinking about family…parents and Common Core. I wondered how people living in the same world speaking the same language could possibly allow these things. So we’re sitting at the dinner table last night and our daughter’s friend Sarah who’s just come back from a “Social Justice” field-trip to Washington DC, is our guest. Within minutes of asking her what the #1 take-away-lesson was from her little journey, I learn that God’s greatest gift isn’t a person until the shoulders appear from the birth canal! Even my Liberal wife appeared stunned!
So thinking about the family in the TV show “Blue Bloods” who pray together at the dinner table in every episode, juxtaposed to the TV show “Modern Family” who don’t…I realize it is ALL about family and what has been done to it! They’ve changed our words and meanings…and the rest, as they say, is history! (Each numbered term has it’s corresponding perversion).
