At the beginning of the term, let the administration know that you disagree with programs such as sex education for young ones (or inappropriate sex education for any age), the acceptance of homosexual activity, or any subject that dishonors God. Request that your child be excused from these classes. If you express your desires before certain subjects are taught, it may be easier to get them to comply. As a parent, you have the right to determine what your child is exposed to. If the school refuses to honor your request, organizations such as the American Center for Law and Justice can help. I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. (Matthew 10:16)8. Don’t spread gossip.Sometimes it may become necessary for parents to partner together to resolve a school issue. But a problem between your child and the faculty should remain between the parties involved. Rumors can spread from bits and pieces of information and evolve into something that is entirely false. We don’t want to plant discord that can grow into other problems.The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts. (Proverbs 18:8)Education Is a PartnershipParents and educators can work together to create a safe, effective school year for everyone involved when disagreements are handled in a peaceful and mature way. We not only need to have open communication with the educational system, but we also can prepare kids for accepting a new teacher in the following ways: Before the school year starts, have a conversation with your child about the teacher’s status. Students need to respect the authority of the educational staff, but they also need to have the confidence to bring concerns to you as a parent. They shouldn’t feel they have to obey everything an adult tells them to do if the instructions make them feel unsafe or violate godly principles. Reassure your child you will address any issues that concern them. Don’t talk negatively about any educator in front of members of the family other than a spouse, as this may further youngster’s anxiety, or embed wrong beliefs about their school’s leaders. Find ways to encourage those in charge of classrooms, which can include Para Pros. A card or small gift on Teacher Appreciation Day can lift their spirits.Thankfully, most teachers are kind, considerate, and put their students’ needs first. We have seen examples of instructors putting their own lives on the line to protect their classes when schools have been under attack from angry persons with an agenda. Some have died as they took bullets to keep their group safe. Wrapping schools, students, and staff in prayer daily is the best defense to keep the enemy out. Teaching is not easy, and can be underappreciated, and mostly under paid. We can show encouragement to these self-sacrificing individuals by expressing consideration to them even when we have differing opinions. Managing disagreements with biblical principles is the only way to be successful. Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. (Hebrews 12:14)
