Comment on PUC responds by Raul Hernandez.

Eddie:
I have read your response with admiration and deep reflexion. As a SDA member and a commited supporter of Academic Information, I am involved trying to provide what I believe to be in the best interest of my children. At home we respect their decision making process and provide them with our own insight which sometimes is not what we desire for them but still respect. This is a forum that involves academic information that we take for granted at times. The principles that The SDA Church enables through its Schools and Universities came to life because of Divine Inspiration, sometimes we forget that this educational system was designed to provide what we call “Christian Education” and I truly beleive the Main Designer is Our Lord and Savior. I am not a political or hard line fundamentalist I am only an MD that thinks that every time we forget that God provided us with some elements of inteligence we can make a difference or we can be an obstacle in the intelectual formation of many members, students,believers and non-beleivers. By the way did I mention that I began earning less than the amount you printed above and was very rewarding at the time. May the Lord Bless you and Keep you and His immense grace be upon you and all the students in our SDA schools and Universities.

Some of the comments regarding payments, benefits etc. etc. are not to be the main point of discussion. These are very important issues to be discussed but the forum is in regards to the Biblical beliefs and the SDA Education system. Since when the SDA principles are going to be measured by the amount of money and or benefits a Teacher, physician or any other professional would receive?. There is no amount of money that will change or affect the SDA principles particularly in Education. To say that because our Pastors, Educators etc. etc. are not paid the same amount of money as the rest of the professionals of the different denominations is
in detriment of the high standards our institutions follow and observe.
Look at the state school system, if you are satisfied with it by all means go to it. The point is: PUC is a SDA institution and should follow the SDA principles of Education if someone does not agree with such principles he/she is working in the wrong place.
My wife and I work with the underprivileged, we assist the needy and the elderly. Nobody pushed us to do so we do it because we want to and feel rewarded doing it.
Just my thought
