There is no statement from Ellen White that “the worst Adventist (or church) school is better than the best public school.” She did, however, warn of the dangers of public schools, and strongly emphasized
the many advantages of Christian education over the false theories, influences,
and associations connected with the public school system. See, for example,
Testimonies, vol. 6, pp. 193-196.
Thought for the Day
In the very family, the neighborhood, the town, where we live, there is work for us to do as missionaries for Christ. If we are Christians, this work will be our delight. No sooner is one converted than there is born within him a desire to make known to others what a precious friend he has found in Jesus. The saving and sanctifying truth cannot be shut up in his heart. Desire of Ages, p. 141.
