| Publisher Description: This book presents the case for school choice and provides a description of a hypothetical publicly funded Christian charter school grades K-12. The author argues that parents wishing their children to attend a K-12 school in which religious values are affirmed, and in which spiritual as well as physical, mental, and social development are a part of the school curriculum, are unjustly prevented from realizing that aspiration by restrictive laws governing public charter schools. All parents pay taxes in support of public education, but only those parents sending their children to secular schools reap the benefit. And there are private school options to public secular schools, most parents desiring that their children be education in a religious school do not have the financial means to pay tuition. The only fair and equitable solution, the author argues, is for revocation of laws which restrict public funding of K-12 religious charter schools. The author then describes the curriculum and educational philosophy of a hypothetical Christian charter school borrowing from a number of well known and respected educational theorists, philosophers, and Christian educators. |
