The world has changed. In the 1940s, the Fullerton (CA) Police conducted a study to find the most significant problems in public high schools. According to their study, the top problems were: talking in class, chewing gum, making noise, running in the halls, getting out of turn in line, wearing improper clothing and littering. Compare this to the top problems children face today: drug abuse, alcohol abuse, pregnancy, suicide, rape, robbery and assault. Many students even become involved in such activities before high school. How can your school prepare students to succeed both academically and behaviorally in such an environment? How can they learn the work ethics so needed in today’s work force?
We at KHM have seen that Released Time Religious Education (RTBE) provides an opportunity to provide such an environment. Kingdom Harvest Ministries RTBE provides Christian based lessons to public school students during the school day.
These programs are voluntary, privately funded and are held off school grounds during the school day. Release time classes are scheduled during an assigned time that does not interfere with the core school courses.
