What This Blog Is All About!

This blog is for confused people.  It’s for people like my wife Konnie and me 13 years ago, when our oldest daughter Alissa was 3 years old.  We knew we had a decision to make in the next 2 years.  We knew we had to figure out how we were going to educate our daughter (and eventually her newborn sister) but we didn’t have a clue where to begin figuring out how.  We were confused.  We weren’t sure where to turn.  Should we pick up the phone book and start calling schools?  Should we send her to the neighborhood public school around the block?  Should we try to home school her?  What about a charter school?

We were in what I call the education maze.  We wondered around a lot and hit a few dead ends in our search for answers.  I wish there were answers for us back then.  We didn’t have any.  If you are in the maze, or about to enter the education maze, overwhelmed by the options, not sure what the options are, looking for direction, full of questions, you are in the right place.  The goal of this blog is to give you solid, biblical answers.

I want to tell you at the front end: We are not going to tell you how to educate your children or where to educate them. I am the president of the board of a classical Christian school. I would love to tell you about The Paideia School of Tampa Bay. But not here. This blog is not designed to try to convince you that you should send your children to this school or that school. Instead, the goal is simple: I want to equip you with honest answers about your options. Then you can make your own decision, an educated and informed decision about how to go about this awesome, God-given responsibility of educating your children. So if you are interested, read on! I hope our blog provides some answers to assist you in navigating the education maze.
