Discussion of experiences related to homeschooling and science education

My wife and I home-school our children. The heart of the question: Is there a Christian “worldview” to communicate through education–one that is found only in a “Christian” curriculum? I have come to the conclusion that there is not. A Christian worldview cannot be taught using human instruction. It must grow naturally from a “life in Christ”–found in the young person and their household. The effort to teach a “Christian” worldview through education seems to produce distortions and poor education–in ways I don’t quite understand yet. Why is Christian history bad history, Why is Christian science bad science? I’ll mull that over more.

So we will use the best “secular” curriculum we can find, appending Bible study and a home-life revolving around discipleship and relationship with Jesus Christ. The worldview you need comes from being born again. Sorry if that’s not helpful in discussing specific curricula.
