My daughter was privileged to attend Lutheran day schools MDO through high school. I, on the other hand, only attended Lutheran kindergarten, and that was because my hometown had no public-school kindergarten in 1965. The rest of my schooling was in public schools, although I attended Sunday School, church, VBS, Bible class, and my parents encouraged me to study the Bible on my own. Lutheran schools can be great, but they are not the only way to teach the faith. Maybe more support for public schools and Sunday schools should be encouraged? I taught in public schools for 32 years, and the caricature that they are churches of secular humanism gets tiresome. We love to bust on parents who leave confirmation instruction to the pastor. Aren't we kind of doing the same by implying that the type of school matters more than what the parents do?
