The state of educational institutions across the globe seems to be in peril as indicated by some educators. Noted award-winning American educator John Gatto feels that “we need to realize that the school institution ‘schools’ very well, though it does not educate” and that “schools teach exactly what they are intended to teach and they do it well: [such as] how to be a good Egyptian and remain in your place in the pyramid.”11 He concludes that “[i]t is time that we squarely face the fact that institutional school teaching is destructive to children.”12 So it important for us as Christians to look into the Bible and see if what we are doing is in harmony with what the Bible upholds and if we can learn something new.
