There is no perfect educational system. The NT makes no mention of primary education at all. There were no Christian schools in the book of Acts.

Most all church schools I have interacted with were substandard to the public school in terms of classes offered, facilities and teacher qualification. Their intent was noble, but the end result was unimpressive.

Neither are public schools perfect. They have their own problems.

There are no perfect schools.

Christian students will indeed face trials and opposition within the public school system. For some, this will strengthen their faith. For others, it will reveal the lack of true faith.

To me, it is not bout faith at all. Do the teachers have degrees in education ? What foreign language classes are offered ? Do the students have a biology or science lab ? Does the school have a real library ?

Vouchers could be added to that list. Our church school had all those but no school choice program to assist families who desired a quality education in a Christian environment. The financial strain caused dwindling enrollment until the school finally closed after 30 years.
