Rome is burning! - Part 1 "Separation of child & home"

Sometimes it is good to see friends & family. This week I had a chance to visit with friends that I have not seen in a very long time. The great thing about the visit was the laughs! We had great conversations about church, politics, children and of course high gas prices + the economy!!! In regards to the conversation I made mention of a saying I heard not to long ago...ROME IS BURNING. Is Rome burning and most Americans can't see it? I believe it is, but too many "humanist” believe we can save ourselves. If they were joking, it would be funny, but they are not. Save us? Let's see...this is a nation that denies racism, police abuse, out of control kids, public education problems, and of course God to name a few issues! Save us? There are too many motivational speakers asking people to tap into "their inner greatness". Very interesting! In our public educational system, the kids are elevated to an adult status by the teachers. The children are being told to make adult decisions. However, they are not being held responsible as adults when those decisions have negative consequences. The following is primarily about the missing link between the school and the household.

Now let's look at the schoolteachers who are basically instructed (directly and indirectly) to systematically get rid of the parents authority over the child when they are at school. "I am your friend"..."If you ever need to talk, I am here for you"..."Is everything okay at home?"...And these are comments/questions asked by the counselors and/or teachers (of course not all) at school! They seem innocent on the cover, but when they start your kid-a-talkin', then it can lead to a nice friendly call or visit by Child Protective Services. "What? Are you serious? It can't be that bad?" You probably uttered some of those questions when you read the words above. Well my friend, it is true. The questions posed by the counselors and teachers are very leading questions/comments. They can open the door for very serious issues especially if your kid does not agree with the punishment you just placed on him or her due to bad behavior or some other issue needing to be dealt with. So, the kid is upset, he or she talks to a few demon influenced (and I mean demon influenced) kids and they inspire your kid to make nicety comments to a counselor or teacher about your “unfair” treatment towards the child. The school official is obligated to report any "problems" to the authorities if it sounds like abuse (physical or verbal). "My goodness they are not being fair to you...you will miss the party!"..."That is not right, it isn’t like you burned down the house or something"..."Parents are so stupid, I wish someone would just, well, you know, do something so I don't have to deal with this cruel and unusual punishment away from phone and friends"..."You should just talk to Mrs._____ and let her know you are having problems at home". Of course I am speaking of false accusations, not bonafide abuse cases that need to be reported. If your kid is misbehaving, then they need to be disciplined! Ah to the birds with all of this psychology crap trying to get us to be friends with the kids. You are a parent first and if fortunate enough, then you will become a friend as well. If they need a little paddle time, then break out the paddle and paddle that butt! However, don't be mistaken about the teacher/counselor student relationship. They, in many cases, are not on your side and will undermine you in a heartbeat. I am surprised to not hear more on the radio, on the TV or between Christian leaders on this topic. It is real and it is setting up another round between the enemy (Satan and his crew) and the God ordained institution called the family. I DEFINITELY will write more about this later, but your eye appetite must be tantalized a little so your brain will grasped this issue for what it is...A ROME IS BURNING ISSUE & PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW IT!!!
