To set the context: I have a master`s degree in applied mathematics from NCSU.

 Secular Education is not an end-all.  As a matter of fact, it is not even a good foundation.
<p>
My foundation was a strong, hard working family and a relationship with Christ Jesus .  
<p>
My Education gave me an opportunity - that`s all.  Though I had only 1 programming course in college, I got a job as a computer programmer.  I eventually rose to Principle Scientist in the company I worked for for 33 years.  My success was not a result of public education.  It was a result of God-given talent and working as unto the Lord .

Public Education without a proper foundation is pretty much worthless.  If a person does not work hard they will not succeed.  If a person does not have integrity, they will not succeed.  Working hard when your boss is a jerk won`t happen unless you work as unto the Lord .  You will take opportunity to cheat and slack off without a good foundation  (see our political leaders for examples).

Public Education has become a money-making business just like Health care.  Both have operated dishonestly in order to further their own self-interest while making it sound like they were doing it for the children and the sick.

Only God Loves unconditionally.  Humans love when it is in their best interest.

We must turn back to God in order to survive as a people.  He is the only foundation that will not crumble.  Our Education system must return to teaching Values as well as facts.
