Christian education is a strong conviction for some parents and merely a convenience for others. Sometimes people think that "isolating" children from the "real world" is not good for them and, therefore, decide to subject their children to the evils of the "real world" in order to let them learn how to deal with the problems they will eventually face anyhow. This way of thinking is not consistent with other areas and certainly does not give proper preparation to the student. We would never allow a student to fly an airplane without adequate preparation first. We would never place a child into college without first giving him the necessary preparation, or he would be doomed to failure. Why would we think that we could turn a child loose into an environment for which he is not prepared?

We teach children about Christianity because we want to prepare them for the real world. As much as we want for everyone to be kind and compassionate, that is not our reality. There are so many people out there who do bad things. There are people who treat others horribly. That is why we need to teach children about Christianity because we are hoping that they will be able to become instruments of God. They will be the ones who will influence the people around them to be kindhearted.
