Education = Privilege

Our Homeschool group visited the Buffalo Naval Park this week. We toured three World War II vessels. The USS Little Rock (Cruiser - pictured), the USS The Sullivans (Destroyer), and the USS Croaker (submarine). It truly was a great field trip.

The most valuable thing I took away from the experience is just how much privilege and education go hand-in-hand. Touring these ships, I could only imagine what the enlisted men went through living and fighting on these ships. As we made our way to the top of the ship we could see the privileges the officers had over the enlisted men. The more rank and education, the better the accommodations and privileges.

As a life application, I don’t care if my children choose to be in the “engine room” powering the ship or in the “pilot house” commanding it, but I do want it to be their choice. They can choose to decline privilege if they like, but it is not going to be because I neglected to give them an education. It really helps affirm the importance of setting high moral, social, and academic standards for our Homeschools.
