I read that the Exclusive Brethren have their own schools so that their children don't have to mix with "the world". Except that because they don't allow their kids to go to uni they have to hire non-Brethren teachers!<br /><br />@ Anon, yes that's right. This is a complex decision with a lot of elements to it, so you can't really prescribe a single answer for everyone, although I think some of the considerations in the original post are certainly worth thinking about.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272544252649766985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146183364287787287.post-64649249394694527942010-08-26T19:45:36.809+10:002010-08-26T19:45:36.809+10:00Really helpful - thanks!

Christian schools formed to indoctrinate children. They're not missional necessarily, sometimes they're borderline cultish, and at the very least they become parachurch organisations (sometimes they even replace the church). Sometimes they are schools started by churches, bearing the hallmarks of a parachurch organisation but operating under a church's umbrella.
