Dr. Ray’s message will challenge and educate those new to or critical of homeschooling, as well as encourage experienced homeschoolers. Dr. Ray will present the results of the latest research on home education, and challenge you to consider your philosophy of education. He will also consider the parents’ role vs. the government’s role in education, and explain how the modern homeschool movement is bringing significant zeal and change to this nation.
Dr. Ray will help you consider the answers to questions such as the following:
· Are parents qualified to teach their children?
· Are these children receiving an adequate academic education?
· What about socialization? (What is socialization, by the way?)
· How will these children behave when they get into the “real world of adulthood?”
· Do the home educated learn as much as those in conventional schools?
· What do certain worldviews or God have to say about who should be educating – teaching, training, discipling, indoctrinating – children?
· Why is the lure of government handouts so strong?
