Gentle Christian Mothers Community - View Single Post - New science & history curriculum by Dr. Wile

I was impressed with how he handled his withdrawal from Apologia. The new owners have a vision that includes books on Christian worldview and it is heavy on "this is what Christians believe," including things like young earth, Calvinism, etc. It's very narrow and implies that if you don't believe those things you're not Christian.

My belief is that I'm raising my children to leave me, not to be me. I don't tell my kids what to think or believe and I certainly don't want homeschool books to do that, either. In general I'm leery of homeschool textbooks on worldview, for that reason.

Yeah, that's very irritating.
