If bible readings were held in schools would it effect the way students act in schools?

Yes, I think they would behave more responsibly & kinder

No. If the marriage is legal - and both parties enter into the marriage willingly and are of marriageable age, the occupations of the two people are irrelevant. It may very well be immoral for a teacher and student to form a romantic relationship during the time the teaching/learning/grading is going on. This is against school policy everywhere I've heard of. I don't think the Judeo-Christian religious texts refer to it as a sin.

Logically, I would have to say "Yes". We're probably teaching them alot about "What NOT to do". They're probably very depressed at how we treat each other and how we scratch and claw to attain possesions and how we ignore the blessings that God gives us every day.

obviosly being a bully would be worse, whats wrong with praying? The more we pray the better our schools will be and there will be less bullies.

I consider myself to be a level headed person with rational thought and l have argued this point for years.. Prayer in school is a good thing, the ten commandments in school are a good thing as well.. The only problem l have is when neither of them are in the children's homes..I really don't want my kids educators teaching them how to pray,l feel that if we keep these things in our homes are kids will keep them in their hearts where they belong..

supposedly no role if you are referring to the public schools.\n\nWhat is the actual subject of your paper.\n\nSchools have played a big part in Removing Religion... or at least those people who complain that their children shouldn't be exposed to even the mention of God.\n\nI wonder what they are using for currency these days.

Kids can still pray in school.  They just can't be forced to, and they're not given a designated time to do it during the school day.  If prayer were forbidden in school, I would never get through a day of teaching!  I find it sad that moments of silence have been removed from schools b/c it's nice to have a small moment at the beginning of the day to collect your thoughts, pray, or zone out.  Nothing can stop a person from having a personal relationship with God.

Studying by subjects are better.\n\nThis way the  bible will interpet itself.\n\nAfter you get thru one letter,  do you really remember what it said on every subject it discussed?\n\nThis will help you avoid taking one scripture and creating a belief around it.

They would have to make available any religous book (Bible, Quran) used in the practice of religion.\n\nThey are not required to make other reading materials available and may restrict their possession and use.

I am sure you don't want a real answer to this question but one that simply reinforces your own views. However, the purpose of our schools is not to glorify Christ or any other religion. Religion is a personal matter to be taught in the home.

I think it would depend on the school and the child.  Most Catholic high schools in my area are much smaller than the public ones so certain kids fair better.\n\nDrug abuse is at every school and the parent needs to be aware of the dangers.\n\nPublic and private schools can both inflate their internal results - look outside of the school for results - like state testing.

No, we do not have an arrangement for Sunday School. The Biblical example for congregation meetings has EVERYONE meeting together to be taught and instructed, from the elderly to the very young. There was no dividing of services between the children and the adults. The first century Christians didn't do this, and neither do true Christians today.

Just because someone is a Christian does not mean that they will be perfect or a good goody all the time. Or that they will be more caring about their school work performance. That comes from somones maturity and character. \nI do think though that if someone is a Christian, they should really work hard and put a lot of effort into their schhol work as if they were doing it unto the Lord. But i do not think that just because someone is a Christian, they'll care more their school work performance. Also you need to realize that some poeple are not very academic and struggle in school no matter how much they care and try. Not everyone is wired the same...so please do not think that some Christian who is failing miserably in their school work simply does not care.\nI'm not really sure where you are getting this whole idea.

Not exactly.  The school curricula are limited so as not to offend one group or another, because school boards don't like controversy--it isn't good for their continued employment.  A friend of mine who used to work for Holt, Rinehart & Winston talked every once in a while about everything they weren't allowed to put in the textbooks because someone in Kansas or somewhere might get upset--and since it's cheaper to publish one book for the whole country than it is to specialize them by state, the attitudes of people in one state can easily influence what goes into textbooks across the country.\n\nThis limits the amount of real education that takes place, which in turn can keep kids from being exposed to intelligent, reasoned debate.  This makes it harder for them to think clearly when they grow up, if they're not learning it at home.\n\nSo yes, history does appear to be badly taught in public schools, and part of it is intentional.  But I think the gullibility and mindless consumerism is a side effect, not the primary cause.

yes I definitely think you should bring your Bible to school. It's our job as Christians to share the Gospel to those we are around, so yes, you should share your beliefs. When you get criticized for it, just pray for God to give you strength. He will help you through it.

A lot of people would have to hear them recite the Lord's prayer.\n\n\nReally, it all comes down to this:\n\nPublic schools are government funded organizations, the First Amendment of the United States Constitution states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof....".\n\nIt's not saying you CAN'T say the Lord's Prayer in school, just that the school staff or faculty cannot require or lead the school as a whole in the recitation of the Lord's prayer.

They need to go to Bible school first
