Amen. I for one do not believe younger children are equipped to evangelize  
much in such an overwhelming atmosphere as public school. Teens, maybe,  
but before you have built into them something strong. Something other than  
the standard issue insecurity and manipulative nature common to kids who  
spend more hours per day dealing with only those their own age than they  
do with the larger society. Public school is a very twisted and perverted  
atmosphere because the kids create it themselves with only the popular  
guidance of their TV and music idols. At no other time in their lives will  
they experience that sort of pressure cooker isolation. It's more like  
prison than education; I've worked in prisons, too.
