"We're called to train our kids up in the Lord. And I think it's just so important... I think I've homeschooled long enough now... you start recognizing this lie that we have been told is that trust us, trust the schools. You're not equipped to teach your children. We are equipped to teach your children... God is going to call you and equip you. If he is calling you to parent your child, he's going to equip you in that." – Kristi Clover
