What are some good aspects of prayer in schools that I can use for a report?

There are no good aspects to be argued that support requiring prayer in schools. Schools are public property supported by all taxpayers, and should not be used to proselytize or promote any religion.\n\nIt sounds like your report is supposed to be based on propaganda, not facts.\n\nAnd, if that's the case, make up whatever lies you want since facts aren't of any concern.

Your teacher or *a* teacher at your school might help (if that helps you).  Also, they might have tutors lined up.  You can try local churches in some communities.  Otherwise, ask your questions here.

engel v. vitale was one case involving prayer in public school; the Supreme Court ruled against school prayer in it.  sorry, i'm kind of vague on this but you can check on wikipedia

I don't know any good ones specifically but Wikkipedia would be good. Some slaves were allowed to go to church long as there was a sheriff outside the window, making sure the pastor didn't talk abuot freedom or something. Hope this helps! Good luck on your paper.

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..

Prayer should be and is allowed in public schools by the students.  They point were prayer is considered to be crossing the 1st Amendment line is were it is an officially endorsed function of the school.  Such as if the principal led the students in prayer every day.  However not allowing a student to pray in school is a blatant violation of both free speech and freedom of religion.

First of all -- I take it your child is in a public school! So then the answer depends on the context that the Lord's Prayer was presented. If they have been told to memorize this because it is a prayer to God, then it could be construed as a violation of church and state. \n\nIt could also be that they are examining the various winter festivities of various cultures and your child may come home with a dreidel tomorrow and the next day some Kwanzaa fabric.\n\nBut if they are studying the Lord's Prayer as a foundation on which our culture bases its morals, then that would be no different than an examination of the 10 Commandments, Hammurabi's Code of Laws or even the principles upon which Buddhism or Islam are based. These are all examples of older cultures trying to get a handle on the basic rules by which we should live and treat others.\n\nSo it boils down to the context it was presented and then if you really have a problem with the school trying to introduce children to something they may not be getting at home. (I only mention this last part because as a regular volunteer at my children's school, I am constantly appalled at the behavior of some children that you can tell they get no guidance at home, whatsoever!)

fives or tens, but a c-note is pretty good also!  Since all christians pray to the same god, then one really isn't any better or worse than any of the others.

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.

I have used a Scofiled study bible for years, this is also what our pastor uses as well as a lot of pastorial schools, another good thing to have is a Strongs Concordance.

I have never heard anyone say that behavior problems in schools is due to the fact that they are no longer allowed to pray in school. Kids will do as they wish, as they are allowed to do when not punished. If they wanted to pray, they would pray. When they want to act up, they act up. It has nothing to do with taking away prayer from school. \n\nI wholly agree with the 'hypocrites attending worship services'. This is the main reason I stopped going to church for so many years. I figured I would surround myself with true people and be able to worship him better at home than I would somewhere else with others like that.\n\n\nFor all of you that are going crazy saying that her question is suggesting that we should make prayer mandatory is school, you werent paying attention. big surprise. i saw that no where in her question. In fact she was saying the opposite. that prayer has nothing to do with the way kids act at school. \n\nI believe in perhaps a quiet time in which a student can do as they please. Sit there and reflect on what to eat for lunch if they want, those who want to pray, pray.

Unless this is a private school, you shouldn't say any prayer.  That's liable to get you fired.  If it is a private school, then nevermind.\n\nWait.... are you a student or teacher???  Judging from some of your other questions, I'm guessing now that you are a student.  Maybe you should pass this information on to your teacher.

Try your brain.  You have to write the report yourself.  If you can find it online, so can your teacher.

You could try typing 'religious etiquette' into a search engine. Or 'religious observations.' Travel guide books could be a good source too: the example you gave might, perhaps, be elaborated on in a guide book to Thailand. Lots of these guides are available online.
