Private and Public Schools in the News
Private and public schools are once again in the news for problems that are catching the media's attention. Apparently, Minnesota's own Anoka-Hennepin school district is at the top of the attention. As the largest school district in the state, they have determined to no longer reject homosexuality but to now teach and encourage that it is neither right or wrong. You can read the Associated Press' article here:

Unfortunately, Christian private schools have their share of problems. With other states to eventually follow suit, Illinois has issued an edict banning prayer over PA systems prior to games at PRIVATE schools. Private schools have no say in this. So much for rights to God in private Christian schools.
Just as with public schools, Christian private schools are facing problems of cheating on tests. They are so bad in a North Carolina Christian school that teachers are having to confiscate cell phones. It appears that these kids are using their cell phones to text test answers during class.
This isn't to say that homeschooling doesn't have its problems, but this is an example of issues that parents have authority over in a homeschool setting.
