Public Schools Cannot Succeed

Yes, that is a strong title, but as statements go, it is one which is absolutely true.

Why is it that any secular school cannot succeed? Simple: God has been removed.

Prov 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The very first step a person MUST take before they can begin to achieve knowledge is a fear of the Lord. When God was removed from the schools, the very possibility of success was also removed. But, what, you may ask, about the steadily increasing SAT and ACT scores? Recently, I had to take a test. I studied for about a week to prepare for that test and passed it with flying colors (I missed one of thirty questions). However, do I know the information contained in the test? No. I studied the test and not the material actually represented by the test questions. Sure, I scored highly on the test, but my actual knowledge of the subject is seriously lacking. In the same way, students are taking SAT and ACT prep courses where they are literally studying the test. So, as a natural result, they do better on the test. The truly sad thing is that in many cases someone can achieve a high score on the SAT, but they cannot make change for a dollar or balance a checkbook. Do you see a problem here?

Not only do see a complete lack of basic knowledge in today's high school graduates, but you also see a lack of respect and decency. This is the true indicator of where a society or a generation is and where it is headed. Today, we are producing a generation with no knowledge or fear of God. This generation may possibly be the downfall of our nation.
