A while back there was a discussion on homeschooling. My wife and I watched a documentary to night on home schooling called "The Homeschool Awaking." This is the link to the discussion awhile back.

Anyway towards the end of that documentary the National Monument to Forefathers was mentioned. https://preserveourfreedoms.org/the-monument-to-the-forefathers/ I had never heard of that monument before so had to look it up afterwards. Confirms again what this countries beliefs were built on. Should be pretty clear what happens when we stray from those beliefs if we look around us today.

One of the early beliefs it would appear was an education should be centered in the home.

Education in America for the first few centuries was centered in the home, because everyone believed it was the right and
responsibility of parents to govern the education of their children. A statue to the Pilgrim Mother in Plymouth, Massachusetts, bears the inscription: “They brought up their families in sturdy virtue and a living faith in God, without which nations perish.” The American home passed on the faith and virtue necessary for liberty. To our founders, the most important aspect of education was to impart Christian character, to shape the inner man. Upon this foundation they taught a worldview deeply rooted in the Bible that provided instruction for all spheres of life. These ideas are reflected in the monument.

The statue of Education is holding an open book of knowledge (the Bible) implying its truth must be passed to all. Flanking her throne are two carved reliefs; one is Youth (the object of the parents instruction) and the other Wisdom (represented by a grandfather) pointing to the commands and an open Bible, with the world at his feet. The family, both parents and grandparents, were to teach the youth how the world works from a Biblical perspective. Education is wearing a wreath of victory, which is obtained when children are well-instructed in the Lord.
