Why do we need Christian schools? Martin Luther certainly addressed that issue.
"I am much afraid that schools will prove to be the great gates of Hell unless they diligently labour in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which men are not increasingly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt."
It has been my understanding that the entire concept of education for all children comes from the Christians. Originally Sunday School was to teach children, who worked six days a week, how to read. What they wanted them to read and they used to teach was the Bible.
