I taught three years of junior high science, now in my eleventh year of teaching 5/6th math and science at a private Christian school. I see no negatives whatsoever. These kids leave being one to two years ahead academically, every grade's math is taking one grade aheads math level, same with English and grammer. No politics with administration, little to no drama, zero discipline problems. If there are discipline problems, the path out the door and on to another school is a very short one. We are there to "enhance" what the parents are doing at home, not to raise them, which IMO is what many of the publics schools are expected to do, and that's what I saw while teaching in public. I actually had zero problems with the students in public, the other distractions that went on with administration/school district, testing, non-involved parents were almost too much sometimes. I had several jr. high students who were raising themselves, working hard to do better than their parents. I also had many who wanted nothing in life but to sit at home a get their gov. check in the mail, like their parents, and grandparents. They had no idea where the funds for that gov check came from, I gladly explained it to them. As far as teaching Creation in the classroom.........................some Christian schools teach only that concept, our curriculum teaches that only, but I also bring in the theories as well, they're going to experience them when they move on, no need to hide it from them, they're 11 and 12yo after all.</p></blockquote><p></p>
