Some pastors may have reservations about starting a private Apostolic school. You may be concerned about having the funds required to hire a full staff and run a school for parents with a conventional schedule, but can you cut the day in half … which basically cuts your budget in half? Of course, you can.
Today we discuss what an unconventional school day can look like in a private Apostolic school.

Noah Webster described education without the Bible as useless, referring to the Word of God as “America’s basic textbook in all fields." That is drastically different than the philosophy prevalent in the classrooms of today.
In this episode, we discuss the importance of a classical American education that is provided in an Apostolic environment. It is time for the Apostolic church to take the lead role in educational excellence.

The classical American educational philosophy has been under attack since the ideas of Charles Darwin arrived from Europe. Most people are familiar with the progressive ideas of John Dewey in the early portion of the 21stcentury, but not as many associate the tumultuous 1960s with Marxist ideology.
Today on Authentically Apostolic, we uncover the philosophy behind many events during that era of social change with a focus upon how it radically damages the American public school system.

Exactly who is John Dewey, the father of progressive education in America? Is he a hero for the innovations he introduced into the American classroom, or is the co-author of the humanist manifesto a disciple of Karl Marx who transformed the educational system of our nation into one that actively promotes the collectivist mindset? On today’s episode of Authentically Apostolic, we will discuss this important figure.

Answers to the eighth-grade mental math problems:
-
A man, having 10 2/7 acres of land, divided it equally among his 6 children: how much did each receive? 10 2/7 divided by 6 = 1 5/7
-
A man agreed to pay a laborer $2 for every day he worked; the laborer, for every day he was idle, was to forfeit $1; at the expiration of 20 days, he received $25: how many days was he idle? 20 days times $2 = $40; $40 - $25 = $15 missing; $15 divided by $3 (the amount he did not earn plus what was paid back for each day missed) = 5 days idle.
