“...the parents have a duty to provide the child with a godly education. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge" (Prov. 1:7); "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom" (Prov. 9:10). Wisdom rests on faith, and true knowledge has as its presupposition the sovereign God. There can be no neutrality in education. Education by the state will have statist ends. Education by the church will be geared to promoting the church.”
 -R.J. Rushdoony from The Institutes of Biblical Law

“A fundamental aspect of the support due a child from his parents is education in the broadest sense of the word. This involves, first of all, chastisement.  According to Proverbs 13:24, "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." Again, "Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying" (Prov. 19:18); parents then were as inclined to be tenderhearted as now, but the necessity for chastening cannot be set aside by a foolish pity.  Chastisement can be a lifesaver to the child: "Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.  Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shall deliver his soul from hell" (Prov. 23:13, 14).”
