Christians Teaching in Public Schools

[patriotic]

I remember "back in the day" when they were teaching square dancing - OMG - I had to get a note from my parents that I could not participate because of my beliefs.  Okay, no problem.

Oh, yeah.  Then one year, I thought I was smart and didn't bring home the note prefacing the square dancing unit in gym class.  Wouldn't you know?  The first day, there I was on the gym floor learning my first ever dance moves and in walks my older brother on an errand for one of his teachers. 

Yep, that was some discussion around the supper table that evening........and yes, I had a note to take to school the next day excusing me from square dancing.  (Stinkin' - Raider loves that word - tattle-tale older brother!)

As far as learning about homosexuality, my parents told me it existed and a brief explanation when I was maybe 17 or 18.  It didn't make sense to me then, and it still doesn't, although to this day, I believe I observed it while a student at HAC (not really knowing it at the time, but hindsight sure convinces me.)

It would be pretty obvious crystal clear if you observed it.

No, not to an innocent Christian young lady of the 80s.  It was a different era, and very few openly displayed it at those times, especially if part of a Christian college.  I had never - to my knowledge at that time - met or even saw a known homosexual (I'm not sure if it were even common knowledge about Liberace and Rock Hudson at that time yet.  Maybe, but I did not know as I didn't really watch either of them or keep up on current events anyway.)

Years later, memories would come to me as I saw open rebellion against God's Word in this area, and I would sometimes wonder about the person to whom I am referring now. She was a one semester only student anyway.

Today, there's very little question about it.

Many christian schools only hire teachers from colleges they support.

The problem is most christian schools are not hiring. For every 20 teaching graduates at ifb colleges there might be 1 christian school teaching job.

Does anyone know of a christian school that's hiring?

Sure, my son's in Jupiter, Florida. But your degree has to be accredited .

Why does a K-12 Christian school require a teacher to have an accredited degree?

In-order to keep its accreditation, their teachers have to have a degree from an accredited college as well as having a percentage of teachers with Master Degrees.

Many moons ago, (20+) I tried to get a job in Kentucky at a Christian School, they would not hire me due to the fact my degree was not accredited-they could not believe there were college that existed like that.

Correct, the graduates have no problem being accepted into university (any state) and colleges. We also participate in dual Enrollment as well as Honor Classes.  Generally most if not all graduates attend some type of college. Not having to do with academics but the year my oldest son graduated there were over 20 students that signed to play some type of college sport. (my son included ) We were once know as having a great football program. But due to changes in the admid, things have changed.

Are you accredited by the actual State of Florida or is it a different accrediting organization?

Not sure, but the state does not control our curriculum.
