bruno22rf Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) Some schools can get extra funding from local diocese if they meet certain criteria-i wouldnt worry too much about it-at the end of the day i suppose you tell her that theres a santa claus and in time she will realise the truth and make up her own mind-much as you dont like the school pushing her one way-you must be carefull not to be self righteous and try push her the other.Let her grow up and be her own judge-just support her whichever way she walks and you wont go far wrong.

Chard Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Some would argue that if everyone followed the moral compass of a religious education, the world would be a better place Precisely. I presume all these people with such a vicious hatred of religion also tell their children from early age that Santa is a fairytale as well. I doubt it somehow though. Also JG, you say you're an agnostic Does that not meen that you haven't made your mind up? You seem to be all set to make your daughter's mind up for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Whatever. You must do whatever you think is right. You came on asking opinions, but you're not interested in listening to any, unless they're the same as yours. The mind is made up, so I assume that it was really just another religion-knocking post I still stand by my view that a childs belief in God and Jesus and stuff (Christmas etc) is harmless. Until somebody comes along with even a token effort at teaching children about right and wrong, it'll do for me. I believe that it's no coincidence that 99% of the population are self-serving grabbing, selfish ****holes, and that there's a direct link with that and the trendy scoffing at religion that is taught to children now. They've totally lost purpose and direction and I don't think it's a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked how i should approach the school on there teaching of the bible, that as far as i am aware is not part of the curriculum. I dont accept that 99% of the population are self serving, selfish **** holes because they dont beleive in religion but they do need a purpose and direction but it does'nt need to be religion it could be anything. This was'nt intended as as being a bit of religion bashing Far from it and sorry if you have taken this the wrong way Edited February 7, 2010 by jasons gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nial Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 is that why there are so many roman catholic priests being interviewed by the police then What percentage of RC priets have been interviewed by the police %0.05? Half the hospitals world wide were established or run by 'the church'. If your daughter's 6 and you're worrying about parent's evening I'd be asking how her reading writing and arithmatic are going rather than worrying about the small amount of 're' they're getting. My daughter who's 7 has been learning about Buddism, Seik(ism?) and Hindus this year. Nial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight32 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) We were fed religion once as well. We appear to have survived Well, After some good advice many moons ago I don't reckon I'm going skywards. Its all up early, work all day and bed late with no room for nothing else. I've decided I am going to the great fire below where you can stay up late,Get up late, get drunk and mix with hoes, (just as I have always done) It that a fair asumption???????

MM Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 its nice to have some sort of guidance at that age. dont try and push your views on the kids, let them make thier own minds up when they are older. On a good note, you can use god for an answer to almost anything without having to explain. Why does it always rain? Not sure, its just gods fault. Why cant i have sweets? Its what god wants...ect..ect. you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Sweepy Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Try not to lose sleep over it. When i was six i was going to become a nun. Then when i was seven i was going to become a hairdresser And at eight a showgirl. When you go this week sit and listen to the teacher. Find out what her grades are like . If they good in the other sudjects. I would not worry to much. Both my boys went to a CofE School. They have both survive without no mental scars . And have always had good grades in all sudjects (apart from Re) If your still concerned after the parents evening then make an appointment to see the headteacher. When my two where at primary School my first question on parents evening was. How they where fitting into the class socially. Am always of the belief if you have a happy contented child . Then they are like a sponge. Thats eager to learn. Let her have the freedom to find out for herself what her interests are. xxxxSuzy I have the parents evening this thursday. I feel your pain.

groach1234 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 What percentage of RC priets have been interviewed by the police %0.05? Half the hospitals world wide were established or run by 'the church'. Nial. Im mixed on this one i feel the church is doing some great things in africa be it with hospitals and schools or health centres or any other great things they are doing in that continent that needs or help and fro this i rate the church greatly. However there is a flip side to this coin and this is the catholic church's view on contraception if the pope would stop condemning the use of contraception then he could single handedly reduce the aid rates spread more than any man in the world and this makes me angry. But hey ho a bit of a double edged sword i suppose. You take the good with the bad. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) What is wrong with kids learning about different religions around the world? That includes chirstian and Islam Also, do you and your kids do "Xmas and Easter?". You still have not answered that one. I would praise your school for a balanced curriculum and not bash them, if the teacher is pushing religion you do have a point, find out the facts first.

gixer1 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Some would argue that if everyone followed the moral compass of a religious education, the world would be a better place We're all in trouble then..... have a read of the 6th commandment! Just playing D.A. here...I personally do attend church for the family service once per month but i think it needs to be taken in context.. I don't think a small amount of religion in the daily schooling will hurt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashman Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Shouldn't a parent know what's in their child's curriculum, be it maths, English or R.E.? Why should anybody need to check the website of the school to clarify if it's a faith school: I'd have thought that would have been clear when selecting the school in the first place.
