It was interesting to note that while at least 85% of American children attend public schools, only 38% of the adults
questioned thought they best equipped children. And while perhaps only 4-6% of American children are able to
attend private Christian schools, 23% of the adults questioned thought Christian schools were best for children.
Compared to other types of schooling, children ages 4 to 18 would experience
the greatest benefits from a Christian education.
