Six Reasons North Carolina Got It Right

Don’t judge me. Why Not? Because Jesus said so!
By Timothy Fox When you study to be an educator, you have to spend a certain number of hours as a student teacher, under the guidance of a veteran teacher. I remember my cooperating teacher telling me one of my strengths was that I took criticism well and was very...
Are Christian High School Seniors Really Ready for College?
We have sent this year’s graduating seniors off to college hoping that we as parents and teachers have prepared them for the challenges of college life. We gave them the best education we could, prodded them when they wanted to goof off instead of study, made college...
Love Didn’t Win– It Was Redefined
