Question: There are many discussions whether or not we should send children to school opposed to gurukula, home schooling or devotee run schools? In a place where there is no devotee run school or gurukula, is it ok to send our children to karmi-run school, while helping them to learn Kṛṣṇa consciousness at home?

Jayapatākā Swami: You have to see the school I guess. See what the situation is. One of my south American disciples, her daughter went to school, and accidentally they switched her lunch box to the non veg box. She went to the school and complained. ‘How this is the Kārtika or Dāmodara month.’ So the school said, ‘oh, you can prepare a lamp offering with all the students?’  So then they brought candles and all the students offered lamps to Yaśodā Dāmodara. So you can see what kind of school it is. Whether it is a parochial school. Hard do to say. I don’t know why you ask a sannyāsī these things. You should ask gṛhasthas!
