"Shared schools"

I was reading my local paper the other day when an article about mixed Catholic and non-denomanational(sp) primary schools. In Scotland, sectarinism is quite a big deal and personally I think breaking down that divide would help ease matters instead of bringing attention to the issue by seperating them.

Also, there are calls for seperate Muslim schools as well. This may bring the same problem.

I feel children should be mixed young and taught a good education. Religion should be taught at home/church/ in my personal opinion.

R.E at Secondary was terrible. It could be good but instead we got told what our 'own' beliefs were. I argued and got the worst mark in my report card. I'd always been top of the class until it dawned on me.

Ahhhh comformity.

Religion to be taught as a general subject, instead of 'here are your beliefs, deal with them'.

Yes, bad. World sucks.

Wrong forum

BAh
