Psalm 78 is a wonderful, generational Psalm to hold on to for your homeschool philosophy or mission statement. 

“Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;

    incline your ears to the words of my mouth!

I will open my mouth in a parable;

    I will utter dark sayings from of old,

things that we have heard and known,

    that our fathers have told us.

We will not hide them from their children,

    but tell to the coming generation

the glorious deeds of the Lord, and His might,

    and the wonders that He has done.

He established a testimony in Jacob

    and appointed a law in Israel,

which He commanded our fathers

    to teach to their children,

that the next generation might know them,

    the children yet unborn,

and arise and tell them to their children,

    so that they should set their hope in God

and not forget the works of God,

    but keep his commandments.” (Psalm 78:1–7 ESV)

“. . . Gather the people to Me, that I may let them hear my words, so that they may learn to fear Me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children so.” (Deuteronomy 4:10 ESV)
