I think you have to be careful with this subject. I have attended churches (particularily OPC) where people were almost looked down upon if they didn't home-school. I have seen this subject divide churches, driving a wedge between church members. We home-schooled for several years and have been blessed in recent years to be able to pay for our kids to attend an excellent Christian School, but that in no way should define what kind of Christians my kids are or what office I can hold in the church. My wife and I lead our senior high youth group in our church and have been blessed by some of the young men and women's testimonies of being able to witness to fellow classmates in public school. There are several Christian families in our church who do not have the means to either homeschool or send their kids to a Christian school. Is that a poor reflection on them???
