While teaching your children knowledge of the Bible is not necessarily a bad thing it does not make for a well-rounded education that\u2019s going to benefit them in the here and now. It is not going to help them start a business, get a job, know how to fill out a job application or a blank check. The author may claim that knowing things for eternity is the only important thing she\u2019s dooming her children to a substandard life by making it the primary book she teaches.<\/em><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When CJ was a baby, I had a lot of lofty goals for him. He was going to be multi-lingual and reading at a young age, and cooking like a professional by age 7. He would be quoting Shakespeare with passion by age 3 and be an entrepreneur in his teens.<\/p>\n<p>Well, he only speaks English and he can\u2019t cook a meal alone yet (he\u2019s 5). He couldn\u2019t care less about Shakespeare or poetry. He\u2019s reading simple words pretty well, and I am proud of that. But he knows more about the native birds and fish here than I do, and he could probably outdo most adults on the placing of the planets in the solar system and their environments. His mind is constantly buzzing, constantly questioning, and instead of following my passions, he has his own. I am so proud of him.<\/p>\n<p>If you try to force them to learn things they don\u2019t care about, it will kill their desire not only for their passions, but for all learning. Yikes!<\/p>\n<p>Because, you know, all this crazy-hard effort you\u2019re putting into making your kids impressively educated is completely non-eternal. It\u2019s totally worldly.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, they will be smarter, they\u2019ll probably make wiser life choices, and in general their life will benefit.<\/p>\n<p>I am excited because I\u2019m going to shift my kids\u2019 school day to be learning the Bible for most of it. I\u2019m not going to go slamming the Bible on their heads, and I\u2019m not going to make it some kind of chore or dreaded \u201cschoolwork.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>QUOTING QUIVERFULL is a regular feature of NLQ \u2013 we present the actual words of noted Quiverfull leaders, cultural enforcers and those that seek to keep women submitted to men and ask our readers: What do you think?
