Them Before Us #107 | The three ways school shapes your kid's soul (whether you notice or not)10 jul34 min

<p>This episode is for the teachers, the homeschool parents, and anyone with a kid in a classroom of any kind. Billy Hutchinson, director of Colson Educators at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, joins the show to break down a simple but powerful idea: nothing about education is neutral. </p><p>Every teacher, every textbook, and every campus culture is shaped by a worldview, whether anyone says so out loud or not. </p><p>Billy walks through the three places where worldview actually gets formed in a kid&#39;s education: the teacher, the curriculum, and the campus culture. He explains why a &quot;Christian school&quot; can still function just like a secular one, why a secular curriculum isn&#39;t automatically the enemy, and what parents should actually look for at graduation season if they want to know what a school truly values.</p><p>We also get into phones, social media, and AI, and why Christian parents need to think beyond &quot;how do I use this tool better&quot; to the bigger question underneath: what is this doing to my kid&#39;s understanding of what it means to be human?</p><p>If you&#39;re a teacher, a homeschool parent, or just someone raising kids in this cultural moment, this conversation will change how you look at every school day.</p><p>Learn more and access free resources for educators at <a href="colsoneducators.org/tbu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">colsoneducators.org/tbu.</a></p>
