This is a challenge which faced Christian parents at a much earlier time: how to balance the benefits of an advanced education with the influence of "pagan sophists".
As soon as the resignation of the more obstinate [Christian] teachers had established the unrivalled dominion of the Pagan sophists, Julian invited the rising generation to resort with freedom to the public schools, in a just confidence that their tender minds would receive the impressions of literature and idolatry. If the greatest part of the Christian youth should be deterred by their own scruples, or by those of their parents, from accepting this dangerous mode of instruction, they must, at the same time, relinquish the benefits of a liberal education.
