A seventh-grader, who attends Klein ISD School near Houston, Texas, asked his teacher repeatedly if he could use the restroom, but his requests were denied by the teacher, who allegedly told him she hoped he "peed" his pants, MyFoxHouston.com reported.  The boy was suffering so intensely, that he relieved himself in an empty water bottle right in the classroom, for which the teacher placed him on in-school detention, and even went so far as to call the District Attorney's Office to explore criminal charges against the boy, his lawyer Bill Hawkins said.  The District Attorney's Office determined the boy did not commit a crime.  Nevertheless, the school placed this child in an "alternate school" for 30 days for his actions.

I suppose this child could have sat there and suffered, cried, or urinated in his pants, which would have possibly caused lifetime psychological effects on account of the suffering and humiliation.  You might be curious as to why such cold, indifferent and even cruel treatment towards children in the public school system is becoming more prevalent.  It was actually foretold in the Bible concerning these last days.  Jesus said, "Because iniquity will abound, the love of many will wax cold" Matthew 24:12.  In fact, throughout the scriptures, the Bible tells us how evil people will become in the latter days because of sin and disobedience to God.  

If this story infuriates you, it should.  If you have a child or children in the public school system, I hope you will give the matter of home education serious thought, if you possibly can.  It is true, that there are single parents who are struggling just to make ends meet and may not be able to homeschool.  I do know this, as we pray and trust God for our needs and the needs of our families, God will make a way when there seems to be no way.  It is time to consider all of the resources we might have available, such as family and Christian friends.  If you are interested in finding out more information about homeschool options, please visit the Home Education page of this website.  God bless you.
