Decline of Academic Excellence in the Public School

To most homeschoolers, the decline of academic quality in America’s public school is not news. However, many parents still remain unaware of this far-reaching problem. According to a the College Board, the organization responsible for creating and administering the SAT standardized test, the scores of 2006 high school students are the lowest they’ve seen in 31 years. This decline is surprising considering that schools are spending more taxpayer money than ever before on providing their students with high-paid teachers, new gymnasiums, computer labs, and cafeterias.
As a National Review article points out, the public school has no legitimate competition. As such, they have no economic incentive to increase the quality of their educational program. As long as parents don’t have a choice in their child’s education, the situation will continue to worsen. Homeschooling, although not truly competition due to public school’s government subsidization, is an alternative that many parents have found to work for them. As public school administrators spend more and more on ensuring that their students have a state of the art facility in which to learn, they forget that homeschool parents are doing it better with only a few hundred dollars a year. Homeschool students are proven to score higher on standardized tests than their public school peers.
On top of all this, Christian parents must recognize that regardless of the academic quality of any given school, the public school system is required to teach a humanistic, pro-evolution, anti-morality, anti-Christ worldview. By sending our children to the public school, we are submitting them to an endless stream of worldly lies and encouraging their indoctrination against Christian values. Homeschooling requires effort, but many parents are finding that the endeavor is well worth the moral and intellectual wellbeing of their children.
