Holes in the Education Purse

Haggai 1:6 speaks of placing money into a purse with holes? As the Texas & U.S. legislatures spring into action this January, will that trend continue? Will we continue to spend on education problems that can’t be fixed with money?

General Colin Powell has labeled our urban schools as "Cities in Crisis". Dr. Bruce Shortt and others in the Southern Baptist Convention have called for Christians to remove their children from public schools. Yet, most people think it is the schools and kids in other districts that are problem, not their own.

We can talk about the drop out rate, the graduation rate, SAT scores, standard test scores and "No Child Left Behind". But the bottom line question is, "what is the purpose of our education system"? "What is our vision?" "What do we expect the end product to look like?"

Short has a book titled, "The Harsh Truth About Public Education" detailing the plagues of our modern education system. Join Dr. Bruce Shortt and me this Sunday at 4pm for Political Hope, as we illuminate the intersection of religion and education policy.
