Hometooling.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this postThe February 2008 issue of Focus on the Family had an advertisement for Hometooling.org.
It's an interesting web site geared towards helping parents teach their kids about the Bible. From the looks of it, the site is fairly new with only the first few books of the Bible having available guides. What I like about it is the idea that the parents are doing the teaching, and that kids aren't just being shipped off to the church version of public school (i.e. Sunday school) to learn these things. There is high value on parents being involved in instructing their own kids, even if they can/do get repeat instruction at school or Sunday school.
I admit that the advertisement, which had the headline "What I want my kids to learn from the Bible" struck me as slightly odd given that it would be information provided by an outside source (Hometooling.org) and not purely the "I" (the parents). However, not all parents are able to write up their own curriculum or get information to their kids in a clear manner and, I suppose, as long as they read the material and agree with it, essentially, it is what they want their kids to learn. I hope that they don't just assume it is what they want their kids to learn without checking it out in detail and just assuming that the source is safe.
Sunday school is kind of a strange addition to church tradition, but that's a blog post for another day.
Anyway, check out Hometooling.org. Get yourself some free-to-download guides.
