     Dr. Ray’s message will challenge and educate those new to or critical of   
     homeschooling. He will also encourage those who are new or experienced
     homeschoolers. Dr. Ray will present the results of the latest research on home
     education, challenge you to consider your philosophy of education and both the
     parents’ and the government’s role in education, and explain how the modern
     homeschool movement is bringing significant zeal and change to this nation.

 
   Dr. Ray will help you consider the answers to questions such as the following?
        
        Are parents qualified to teach their children?
        Are these children receiving an adequate academic education?
        What about socialization? (What is socialization, by the way?)
        Should minorities homeschool their children?
        How will these children behave when they get into the “real world? of adulthood”
        Do the home educated learn as much as those in conventional schools?
       What do certain worldviews or God have to say about who should be educating –   
          teaching, training, discipling, indoctrinating – children?
       Why are some parents tempted to want or allow the state to serve as a codependent
          to themselves?
       Why is the lure of government handouts so strong?
        Are proponents of statism cooperating with or co-opting homeschoolers’ standards
            and plans for their children and their country?
       What should be your short-term and long-term visions?
