It was a slow realization over many years that I had been living a divided life as a Christian teaching in the public school system. I had no problem teaching at a public school myself, but I simultaneously refused to send my children to the same school because I didn't want them exposed to what was taught there. The inconsistency was clear in the minds of others when they found out that I homeschooled my children, but it took years for it to become clear to me. After a decade in teaching, I felt convicted to resign. This book recounts the several moments and realizations that led up to my decision to leave public education.

Industry Reviews

"Charleton King writes from a place of personal experience across educational contexts, and his own story provides a narrative starting point that many readers may find helpful. Impress Them on Your Children raises the inherent complexity of living faithfully as a Christian parent, educator, and student in a fallen world, and seeks to provide direction for the varied decisions and commitments which grapple for our attention." -Justin Harbin, director, Center for Teaching & Learning, Lancaster Bible College

"What if God cares how we educate our children at least as much as what they are taught? That question is the premise of this provocative consideration of the aims and influences of public education by a seasoned former public school teacher. Whether or not you have responsibility for school-age children, if you take seriously what it means to raise children in the training and instruction of the Lord, this book deserves your careful attention." -Eric Brandt, director of digital learning, Lancaster Bible College
