In a different area of life, a desire to prevent "conversational collision" often creates metaphorical “no-fly zones”. These restrictions designate discussion topics it is acceptable, or not, to stray into. This is even true – at times especially true – among fellow believers. Piloting towards them can seem “mind-blowingly reckless”. Education is one such topic. How does our faith influence how we think about education and schooling? Few issues are as sensitive.
