General Off-Topic Board / Re: prayer in public schools?« on: July 13, 2005, 11:59:07 AM »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. 12

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? 14

Yikes. I've missed a lot. LMNOP sort of jumped on it for me anyway.
But just so you know...I dont think that vouchers could be extended to religious schools anyway. Doing so would violate our First Amendment rights. Americans should not be forced to subsidize religious education in any way. 15

Why is it bad for a child to be exposed to different belief systems and then pick for his/herself what to believe in? |
