As a former teacher and former homeschooler, I LOVE this time of year! Back to school means new notebooks, new uniforms, new challenges, and new joys. But there are a few very important lessons your children won't learn.

Only you, as a parent, can teach your children how to truly love God, how to have faith, hope, and how to embrace virtues that define your child's character.

Schools teach academics, and some really great schools can support you in teaching faith and values.

But ultimately, you are your children's first teachers in forming their character. It's both a privilege and a responsibility given from God.

Schools and even really great teachers can’t teach your children the most important things in life – that’s not their job – that’s your opportunity.

Don’t give away your most precious gift from God – the privilege and responsibility of forming good, holy Christian men and women.
