Religious schools

[Surote]

I disagree with religious schools. An insular upbringing is harmful to the child and prevents them developing a rounded, nuanced view of the world and importantly, it's other inhabitants.

That's right

I used to go to a Christian school, and the education was pretty good, but anyone who went to there Church got benefits that were totally unfair

Do you think it's good to send your kid to a religous schools and would you do it?

I think to many people brainwash there kids and I would never do that to my child.

"Brainwashing?" Is that what non-religious folks have taken to calling people of faith? Come on.

If responsible, normal, religious individuals want to send their child to a school that happens to teach their religious view point in a responsible, non-radicalized, otherwise normal school environment, then yes.

What's the problem? They're not harming you in any way.

Teaching kids to believe in things that do not exist is child abuse. This 'god' does not exist and the one described in the 'bible' is quite the mass murderer and psychopath.

This whole bogus idea that 'religions' are special is what needs culling first.

I'm a fairly rabid atheist. I'll just leave it at that, before delving into my specialty (which is being offensive to religious nuts).

Even if I were Catholic, the nearest Catholic school is probably the foulest nest of drugs and debauchery in the area. No, that's not enough to sell me on it.

Little Goofball starts 2nd grade this September and I intend to continue supplementing his and my younger children's educations myself despite the outrageous suggestion by his 1st grade teacher last hear that I not so my son doesn't get too far ahead. Can you believe that shit?!?

Not only do I believe it, I experienced it. Several decades ago, my father had the effrontery to teach me to read before I was three and then to provide interesting books for me. When I got to school, the teachers were appalled and read my father the riot act - because he had taught me to actually read the words and look them up if I didn't understand them - which was totally counter to the approved method of the time. It didn't stop him or me. I'm so glad such idiocy isn't stopping you and the little Goofballs.

It wasn't so many decades ago, but my parents got in the same sort of trouble with both me and my older brother. In the latter case (and this is, by itself, probably a big part of why I didn't get sent to public school), my mother actually got called in to talk to my brother's first grade teacher because he read books for fun, and, in her mind, this was a sign of a problem child. I wish I were kidding.

I like how people assume private, religious schools are more biased and brainwashing than public schools.

Would yu happen to know where one could get a license for goat sacrifices? I looked in the yellow pages, but strangely there were no listings.

presumably you could just get a license to farm goats, and then sacrifice them, claiming its for the meat or something...

I went to a Montessorri school at that age so, uh, neener neener nee-ner.

Probably, and thanx, but I was just joking.

[Satellite Indoslavokia]

I dont like religious schools, I dont want my kids indoctrinated by anyone but me,

Too late. I would personally trust a religious school over an American public school any day. The standards of private schools tend to be much higher. Your kid might grow bored, but "fun" isn't a right.

Not necessarily.. And besides, a natural fear of God to keep the child from misbehaving never hurts.

Of course they are. A 'religious' school is intrinsically more biased, because it is 'religious' - which is it's bias.

There are 'religious' schools that don't push their 'religious views', too.

A 'religious' school that doesn't have a 'religious' bias... there's a name for that...

'A school'.

And what would you consider a school ran by a religious institution but doesn't push their religious views?

Unlikely.

I, personally, would wonder why they're going to the expense of running a school that doesn't benefit them.
