No, just no. No one should be forced to take part in that. |
I just think it would be a good thing to understand the backstory of religion and to discuss how/why religion was created and how it's connected to some historical events. It's not like you have to become religious or anything.

Still can't do something like that, especially in a Christian-centric society like ours :P
Common sense 101
And I second the guy who said etiquette earlier.

Why not? It would be a good thing to teach kids about different religions and their commonalities. Teaching world history without religion isn't possible. You have to be careful about getting teachers without their own agenda ofcourse. Which is needed anyway, my history teacher was always pushing his own political ideas and party on us.
I went to a catholic school and had an awesome religion teacher in the later years. He was more interested in teaching us about morals and the influence of religion in current society then pushing the bible on us. Despite going to a catholic school I'm not religious myself, but he did teach me to think for myself.

It wasn't that I was a bad student or had poor intelligence, it was that I never really understood how to learn. When I went to University they held seminars on how to learn for new students. I reckon they were some of the most important seminars I attended. If I recieved those lessons at the start of high school I would have been far better off. I was taught how to process information, how to communicate my ideas and thoughts effectively and how to think critically; it acted as a backbone for everything else I learned while I was there. As for traditional lessons that should have more focus, I would say maths. People say you don't need it, but they're just plain wrong. |
this is the best answer. after reading the first sentence i started to pass your post up, but i couldn't agree more. school was a 2 way St. for me. a very rocky road on a roller-coaster ride with all the loops turns and twist.
i ended highschool in 3 yrs and better then many expected. hell better then i expected. i sucked at english 3 which i took after which was easier for some reason! my GPA was 2.9 but that was because of my stupid choir teacher who felt i was holding back from the previous yr.
i was perfect in everything in highschool until i got to English3 and physical science.. hated algebra but loved geometry. i helped one guy get a better GPA then me in geometry for a wk lol.
what i'd like to see is classes that are dedicated to college. LA. is so far behind in the education area, and the worse part is everyone in power in my state continues to make cuts in edu. i'm sure its the same in many other states and parts of the world but i digress.
i think college should be the biggest focus from grades 7 and up.
How to wear your pants class.

I'm having a hard time imagining what a class liek this would be like. |
I don't know exactly, but Judge Judy would be good at teaching it :)
School should not be required. It violates parents and childrens basic freedom.
However, you should need a permit to have a kid, and if you have a kid we should not have a system that basically does everything you're supposed to do for you in the way of teaching. I'm going to homeschool my kids, they're learn WAY more then those stupid brain washing camps they call schools... All those teach you how to do is quickly memorize information, write it down over and over, and then forget it when you don't need it... They also teach you how to obey authority with the way the system is set up... We don't need to be teaching kids how to obey authority and do meaningless paperwork, cause that's all the schools really do, all the math, history, science, english... Will be useless in the large majority of people who learn it, all they care about is food sex and entertainment... Not remember crap from history and science and math and remembering useless rules of the english language that in most cases in no way help you get your point across any better.

This isn't a christian society, it's a society full of a buncha retarded posers who don't know what Jesus or the bible actually means/meant in the original language it was written and rather go by the common interpretations of preachers, also they don't follow any of the commandments except the big ones that are common morality among even atheists... They aren't real christians, the first christians would not have thought well of the people who claim to be christians nowadays. This isn't a christian society it's a society that likes to pretend to be christian, honestly think they're christian but really know nothing about their religion or what commandments they have to follow to be in line with the lord(some of them think all the crazy commandments are in the old testament and they don't have to follow those because it says you don't, but there is BATSHIT INSANE stuff in the new testament as wel)
Wow... that was off topic. I am just so sick of hearing this is a christian centric society.
I think the ones now are fine
