When God is Allowed In School

 As a school nurse I have worked in the public school system for almsot ten years. Most recently I started working at Free Will Baptist Christian School in St. Croix. There are a lot of Christian teachers and staff in the public schools today who are making a difference. But there is nothing like walking by a classroom and hearing the children sing songs and recite verses of the Bible. Teachers are teaching Biblical truths and character. The evidence is seen in the day to day lives of the students. Young men will say excuse me, hold the door for you, and not sass you back when spoken to. The young ladies are also very courteous. There is a respect for authority. The other day in Chapel the speaker asked the students to quiet down and within a few moments there was silence. That is not so in public schools. I have sat in assemblies when I was embarrassed because the students were so rude to the guest speaker. If our children even have a hope of success in life God needs to be back in our schools. Christian schools are not perfect. The difference is that God is allowed! "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
