Hopeful of adjustments to religion in our schools

[Rhiannon]

rhi , I have nothing at all against pagans what so ever.

It wouldn't matter to me if you did. But if this is the case why have a pop at Owlswing? He's having a blast. Tends to be the way of it with pagans.

I'm having a blasyt 'cos the moron is jacking something he knows nothing about to try and make himself look as if he is smart when all he really is is a smart-arse sniping for points. Hew gets hisw points but for pure unadulterated pig-ignorance.

Shit! He can have the points, now he has started on the Pagan bit he can do what he likes.

I do not have to defend my beliefs or the practices of pagans or witrches or covens to an know-nothing WUM/troll.

He is now what the Soviets used to call, as far as I am concerned, a non-person - he has ceased to exist.

Teachers do.

Do they teach religion as in "Religious Instruction", or do they just teach about religion?

I used to be a school governor with responsibility for RE and the biggest problem is the need to teach from a central syllabus. At KS1 the teaching is by ‘theme’, so each subject feeds into the others. When teaching about ‘how the world was made’ the Creation story is taught, art is making a collage of God making the world in six days and science... science isn’t the Big Bang theory, it’s how life grows. So five and six year olds in secular schools are taking part in activities that mirror those in Sunday schools and come home saying that God made everything.

I'd love to know how the wee bundles of joy cover the fact that Genesis says that day and night were created before the sun was
