Our teacher is an atheist and refuses to allow religious studies during the main instruction block...😍

There are two students in our class who don't attend religious studies, and considering we live in Oakland, I don't foresee much changing in the foreseeable future...🕺

It’s pathetic when certain teachers—rare as they may be—let their own personal beliefs dictate what should be standard procedure.

I'm a believer, but I'm also objective about religious education. Frankly, it hasn't clicked for me since first grade. Not because of the content, but because of how it's forced on kids—making them wander the halls or sit in the library just to avoid being in the classroom. Plus, they give it way more time than Art, which is incredibly vital at that age. And why give it the same amount of time as Social Studies? It covers such a massive range of info. One thing I'll never get: why grade children on memorizing religious facts? There should be a completely different approach to that...🙄

Drew Johnson2... I’ve been sitting here thinking about how first-year PID students get the exact same hourly rate as the seniors... It just doesn't pass the smell test. In my view, that subject covers such a massive spectrum of information...

Susan James said:To be honest, what really bugs me is the schedule itself—how they only give one hour to art and music, but two full hours to religious studies.

The second I saw the first-grade schedule, it hit me... and honestly, I was disgusted. It’s unbelievable how our American school system undervalues the arts compared to religious studies...🙄
