Would you send your child to a religious school?

There's no chance in hell I would ever allow my child to go to a religious school.

1.) I hate religion...it's utter bullsh!t to have a pre-determined set of beliefs.
2.) Wearing uniforms hinders your child's ability to set themselves apart from their friends, and i personally feel it directly affects their personality.
3.) I think drugs are MORE rampant in private schools, because they types of people who go to private schools, have parents who are rich enough to send them their, and because they feel they can slack off because their parents will guide their way through life.
4.) I think my kid will be less responisble, and MORE prone to drug addiction at a private school than a public school.

Generally speaking, those who have recieved a private school education....feel they are somehow better than those that haven't...and that's garbage.

if the education is better there than other schools in my area then i would think about it defenatly why not IMO

Depends on the mother of the child/children.

I went to a Catholic High School, wore the uniform, and all of that jazz that Link was nice enough to bash. 😄

True, the drug situation was terrible at my high school. If you wanted it, I could get it for you.

It moreso depends on the child. I would not want to send them to a uniform prep elementary school, because that does hinder their ability to develope a personality in some retrospect. However, uniforms at the high school level eliminates the competition and hassle of assembling a waredrobe. There is always out-of-uniform days, too. Being outstanding and unique does not have to revolve around the waredrobe.

Back to my point... it does really depend on the child. If they want public school education, that is their choice. You can choose that for a high school, by all means. The religion is more a moral guideline, and you can get that from anywhere. It is just easier to get it from the "good book."

I could not do that to my unborn child that is just mean....and they also got to wear uniforms, I want my unborn child to be stylish not a LOG 🐰

Most schools in the UK are religious. Infact I dont know any that arent. Maybe thats just my area. They dont force it down your throat or anything but state schools are usually C of E (Church of England) or something. All it means is you have to go to church once a year for the christmas service

Or if I did not like the relion schools around here I would home school then.As a kid I went to a jewish center for Pre-K and then my mom took me out and send me to pulic school
So I been at Public school since then.If it was a relionish school I would send them to either a jewish or Cathloic school if my husband argees with me.
But when highschool or middleschool comes around and my child is having a hard time at it I am going to home school her or him myself.JM 💃

Haha.

Seriously though, if I had children there would be no way i would send them to a religious school. They are meant to be forced to go to school to get a good education. Their religious beliefs are their own buissness and should not be forced upon them. Let them believe what they are comfortable with.

THe governments would save so much money if they scrapped seperate schools. You go to school to learn academically. If you want to learn about religion you go to church.

No religious school. They should be able to choose for themselves. This day and age they have that freedom and who am I to take it away?

Yeah, I would. I'm not Christian but I would rather have my hypothetic kids go to a Christian school then the school that I go to. If I had the money I'd be going to one myself. I don't care about religion or beliefs, since when do kids get their beliefs from their teachers at school? I heard that kids get most of their beliefs from their home life. I took a class in 9th grade in NC called Bible study, and it wasn't half bad. I learned a lot about Christianity which I had no previous experience with, and my teacher was pretty fair in the fact that he didn't force Christianity or religion on anybody and we weren't there to learn about the Bible like it was history but instead a piece of literature. But unless they make some serious improvements in the Florida public schools, Christian Private Schools sound like a good option to me. Of course I would first try to find a good school that wasn't religiously biased, it seems like all the good schools are either Christian academies or a school of the arts (around here at least).

As far as drugs in Christian schools goes, I have never heard that, but it doesn't really surprise me. But guess what, it's the same way with public schools. Drugs are rampant in schools period. Maybe more rampant in some than in others, but public schools have a lot of gang violence, teen pregnancy, and not to mention terrible teachers. Two of my teachers last year just stopped showing up for a few weeks out of no where. And the school never even sent a sub for one of them. They just had an administrator come in everyday and make everyone who was there sign a paper for attendance. I'm not so closed minded that I won't recognize that Christian schools are better just because I don't agree with their philosophies.
