It does sound pretty melodramatic: but honestly, it seems the whole focus of our society is to separate children from their parents for teaching purposes; and if you look at a family where the parents are really good and the kids are a mess, a common theme is that the parents sent their children somewhere for a good education.

The young are weak. Separate them from the strong and they are easier prey.

Same goes for our kids. They have mushy brains and mushy characters still. They are susceptible.

When my parents decided not to put me and my siblings in school, they did it because they felt that God had given us to them and they were responsible for teaching us and they couldn't be responsible if they were separated from us seven or eight hours a day. They couldn't be teaching us when they walked along the road or sat in their homes if we weren't actually with them and they knew God would want an accounting from them not from a teacher. If they allowed us to be separated from them and for us all to be separated from each other, then they could no longer conduct their responsibilities properly.
