While I agree, my best friend was a parent like that—private Christian Schools or homeschooled her kids, wouldn’t let them date (they were to “court”), no cell phones, church every week, constantly teaching, etc. Three of her four kids went sideways once they left home for college. The oldest son comes to family get togethers in a dress and makeup. They have totally rejected God.
So, as a parent with grown kids in their 20’s, my advice is—find a public school that has good teachers. Do not isolate them from our culture or they will have culture shock in college. Pray every single day with them before they go to sleep. Pray for protection, wisdom, knowledge, their future, for good friends, for blessing in their lives and friends’ lives, etc. They need to hear you pray for them and how to pray. This is the only way I have found to raise get healthy kids. Prayer.
