What does Dr. Black mean when she says the Christian school is important in raising a generation that is more than just competent cognitively?
-
While raising them up to be cognitively competent is important, it is no more important than preparing them for eternity. It is more important that we shepherd their hearts in the right direction, not neglecting academics, but not necessarily prioritizing it over our students’ eternal destination.
-
Dr. Black is emphasizing the importance of raising a generation that is taught from a wholistic perspective. Yes, raising a generation that is competent cognitively is important but that isn’t the only goal of Christian education. Raising them to see who God is and called them to be in this life in light of eternity helps a student have a better grasped of what they are to do in this life.
-
I believe that most Christian schools apply a holistic approach to education which is teaching the whole child–mental, physical, and spiritual.
-
It is more important that we raise a generation that knows and loves the Lord.
-
Dr. Black means that we also need to prepare our students for their callings in life. We need to make sure that they can hear God’s voice and are prepared to follow what he is saying and what he wants for their lives.
