At Parents Magazine, we believe that education should be the process of teaching children about the truths and realities of life. Education that is focused on the Word of God is the only way to ensure that children are equipped and prepared for productive citizenship. We firmly believe that the success of a society doesn’t lie in additional funding or policing, but in the educational system itself. To teach without the knowledge of God is blasphemy, and will lead to a society without moral or ethical standards, and ultimately destruction. We believe that the solution to societal ills is true education, and that the only way to achieve this is by focusing on the teachings outlined in the Word of God.
