In this episode of the Christian Principals Podcast, Matt George and Mark Zockoll tackle a timely and challenging question for Christian educators: where does a school’s responsibility end and a parent’s responsibility begin?From discipline and admissions to athletics, transportation, and academic expectations, they explore how schools can clearly define the role of parents in supporting a student’s growth. The conversation is sparked by broader cultural concerns, including the way responsibility is shifting in today’s world and how that affects Christian schools in particular.They also discuss why clear handbooks, expectations, and communication matter more than ever, especially when schools are trying to protect students, uphold biblical values, and maintain a healthy partnership with families. Along the way, they reflect on recent examples from the news, the impact of COVID on parent-school expectations, and why some families may need to decide whether a school truly aligns with their convictions.The episode closes with a Christian administrator spotlight and prayer for Mr. Johnnie Whitehead of Arlington Baptist School in Baltimore, Maryland.If your school is wrestling with how to define parental responsibility, this conversation offers practical insight, biblical perspective, and a candid look at what Christian education is facing today.🎙️ Listen & Subscribe to the Christian Principals Podcast🍎 Apple PodcastSpotifyAmazon MusicYoutube 🌐 Christian Principals Podcast Website
