The purpose of education is to provide our children with the knowledge and wisdom that we, as parents, have acquired through our years of experience and practical application. We are dedicated to the truth, we will not lie to our children nor will we entertain lies and fables. We will not present theory as fact nor will we approve of materials that do so. Our purpose in all of this is not only to prepare them for the tasks and functions of this life so that they may be fully equipped for the tasks that God has set them to; but that they may learn from the mistakes and successes of generations gone by.
Our first goal is that each of our children leave our tutelage knowing that the Jesus Christ of the Bible is the only way of salvation. Our hope in this is that they will also choose to follow his path.
Our second goal is that each of our children learn patience, discipline, and contentment; that they may adapt to any living conditions without compromising the values that have been instilled in them.
Our third goal is that each of our children leave our tutelage fully prepared to take care of themselves and moreover their family, totally free and independent of professionalism; nutritionally, financially, and medically except when truly necessary.
Our final goal is that each of our children leave our tutelage fully prepared to provide their children with the same foundation described herein, with their own particular style and techniques and their own accumulated knowledge added hereunto. That each generation may have the accumulative wisdom of generations gone by instilled in them in their adolescence so that like Job the wisdom and prudence of their youth may be revered among the aged.
