Value Education:  Implementing Religious Instruction in Every Aspect of Learning

As home schoolers, we teach our religious values to our children as we teach all other curricula. Literature, science, history, sports, even math can have religious applications. We should help our children see that secular learning and religious learning are not separate; both allow us to understand truth. The child with special needs can receive help understanding what his religious beliefs have to do with his daily  life.
