The school I substitute taught at had the moment of silence in the morning, and it was dead silent--even with a sub in there.  You just have to have punishment for those who violate the rules, as with any other school rule.  Kids can be made to shut up during anything with the right discipline.

This is true.  Someone could have made it work. 

Just to ask cause I really dont know...

Religion aside, under a voucher system, wouldn't a private school still be able to pick and choose its own students?  If so, then what do you do with those students who are unable to get into the private schools?  If were talking about getting better educations for every student, which is what vouchers are supposedly for, wouldn't it be better to improve our public schools instead of funneling students all around?

Well, I don't wanna have the people tauting NO religion down my throat either.

there's rub for your kind, skippy.  can't have it both ways.  what particular religion, exactly, were you hoping governmment would choose to foist upon children?

To be repetetive: Vouchers solve this problem.

I dont like the idea of Vouchers.  I believe that they are detrimental to public schools.

People can believe in whatever they want, everyone is entitled to their own religiong, or not-religion if you will.

Yes and everyone is entitled to a religious-free education.

Thongs for me.  Boxers for my beau.
