Christian Schools Biggest Problem
I've been going to one for some time and this is what I've found.
SoldierofHIM

I haven’t been here long, but I have been here long enough to find out with little intellect I have to see this school's number one complication. And I can tell you it in one word: false. Now listen closely, one of the biggest problems this school faces is the school body itself. The students, which you get into a very complicated problem. Because you cannot control the amount of godliness that goes into your school. If a parent wants their child to be in a “Christian.” Environment, then let it be so, but when you have too many parents wanting their ungodly children to go to a certain school, then that school winds up to be a very lost place. Which is EXACTLY what has happened to this school. One of the ways I will share briefly what this school needs to implement is not full background checks but we need to see if the parents are raising their children to be godly, because you they aren’t. Then you wind up with ungodly children thinking they are saved because they prayed and were baptized. Now you can say that that’s exactly why this school exists is to train them up godly, but they have made one crucial mistake which only a student can tell, and that is this. “Students do not act how they act with their friends and in front of teachers.” Which is why every teacher assumes every child is saved, instead of assuming everyone is not Christian until they prove it. Which is what you should do because the Bible says many will call me lord and not enter the kingdom of heaven. This school's problem is false, as in false conversion. Because everyone believes they are going to heaven because they prayed a prayer and are waiting till marriage. Let me tell you can spend your whole life doing mission work and not be saved. Because you are not saved because you go to church, you are not saved because you prayed a prayer. You are saved because of the blood on the cross on calvary. And these people think they are saved because they all have the same experience of kneeling in their living room, surrounded by family, saying the prayer of asking Jesus into their heart, and are baptized weeks later. Then their parents and pastors affirm this idea because they miss interpret once saved always saved. And they spend the rest of their lives living in the world, let me tell you that’s not Christianity, they prayed that prayer to a different Jesus. Because the true Jesus said take up your cross, in other words give up everything for me. This school's problem is because they assume everyone is saved because they did that, they prayed a prayer. I’m only 15 years old and am losing hope in our elders because I know this from 15 years of life, and their 55 years tells them that going to hell is hard because all you gotta do is pray. To conclude this school will only grow darker because of this and unless someone stops it, carnal Christianity which is no Christianity will completely take over. And these schools will stand quilty in God’s eyes.
Which is the last thing I want to see. So pray, whoever is reading this pray that this organization’s students will turn back to God, or else. They will stand condemned, and pray that the few Christians that I can count on one of my hands stand true. G0d help us, but praise the Lord for saving us.

Part of growing up and becoming independent is the separation process from family.

Adolescence is a time of testing limits, rebelling, finding oneself. Hopefully it results in a responsible and caring adult with a strong spiritual core.

It's not an easy ride for parents or children, and I've lived on both ends of it (as many of us have.)

Parents with strong religious faith can send their children to a Christian school and see it backfire as their children see it as a way to prevent them from growing up and finding their own path.

Parents and educators need good communication and listening skills and a respect for the process these teens are going through.

It seems as if your own journey as a teen has been fairly seamless. You know your path. Have patience with those who are still looking.

yes but you said hopefully, which in todays world is becoming less likely. There is a difference between, being immature in faith,
and not a Christian at all.

One of my mistakes in high school was not understanding the meaning of words in the Bible. I thought because I was able to memorize school texts and lecture material, I was good. Getting a B is good. Getting an A is excellent. I graduated near the middle of my high school class in terms of GPA. Did well enough on college entrance exams to be accepted to a state university. Something was missing. I grew up in a military family without learning to be more merciful. I blamed others for my failures. I did not ask God to take control of my life, or I asked, but did not surrender. Eventually I tried to repent and repent again. Sometimes I turned the other cheek.

School is supposed to teach you facts instead of fiction. Lies and false doctrine will not last. Some of this is in 2 Peter. Peter advised his readers to be sober and self controlled. He commanded them to reject fleshy lust.

People may turn to Christ at anytime in their life. Courses you take in school may prepare you for when you must learn job skills. Even the few words of Spanish I can remember are useful in some situations. The math is good. I use it while evaluating investments. Spelling, grammer and punctuation skills make for effective communication. Reading good authors makes for building good vocabulary.

I broke it into smaller sections so it is easier to understand.

A couple of thoughts:

First:

Romans 10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”​

You are describing Sanctification - not Salvation

Second:
The purpose of a school is to teach subjects, what you are describing are issues of maturity and relationship with God. Only time and examples IRL will effectively change those. Rom 2:4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? Let them see God's goodness in you and you can be a person helping them step into the fullness of what Christ has for them. You will never have that opportunity if you only sit in judgement.

Third:
Welcome to CF - are you 25 or 15? Do you really live in Columbia? If so, how can you be a US Republican?

Parents with strong religious faith can send their children to a Christian school and see it backfire as their children see it as a way to prevent them from growing up and finding their own path.
That may be, although they may repent later in life. It's not unusual for children to grow up and think "I guess my parents were right about this after all". The important thing about sending kids to a Christian school is that they will be exposed to the Word of God. Which will either find fertile soil, or not.
