Yummm...fasting...nice and healthy!!

You guys do know that it's unhealthy and brings toxins into your body, don't you?  Not to mention the problems if you have hypoglycemia or diabetes...yikes!

BEP - wow what a great thing! Such a great message - I loved it!!

Because really, just think about what you're teaching your children!  "Okay kids...here's the deal.  Anyone who does not think EXACTLY like you is EVIL.  The only right way to think is the way you think (or rather, the way we, your parents, think).  Never consider anyone else's opinions or perspectives...people from different religions are evil and they should not be able to live in the USA. "

"But Mom/Dad - isn't this a free country?"

"Yes but only for those of us who are RIGHT - which would be Christians!  Freedom of speech/thought/religion/expression doesn't apply to anyone else."

"Oh okay.  But my friend Timmy is an atheist!  I like him!"

"Too bad.  He is wrong and you cannot be friends with him."

What a great message to teach your children.

"Our" Christian ways?  Hahaha that's a good one.

It frightens me that some of you have reproductive organs...and use them!!!   *shudder*

"I wish that the morals and values that were taught in school, came back."

Morals and values are taught at home (or for those who need help, taught in church), not in school.  They are merely reinforced at school, with things such as honesty, hard work, etc.  If a child has no morals, it is the parents' fault, not the teacher's fault.

"Now, I feel like teachers are teaching worldly materialistic values. 'I can't teach because I don't have any supplies.  I need new books.  I need more...'"

Are you a teacher?  No?  Then please be quiet.  My mother is a teacher; you insult her by saying that she can only teach with "wordly materialistic values".  Not true!!  

"Teachers use to only need a chalkborad and the knowledge that is in their heads."

How ignorant.  Teachers need more than just a piece of chalk (which you forgot to include), a chalkboard (which you misspelled), and knowledge to teach.  My knowledge of AP Chemistry would have been limited last year had I not been able to perform laboratory experiments, all which require chemicals and laboratory equipment.

"Now, it seems like they want to just barely pass by in classes and move the students on, instead of making students think/brainstorm/and grow as well rooted people of God."

There you go again...insulting a profession which you know nothing about!  I don't know what teachers you're talking about, but mine did an excellent job in encouraging me to think and becoming a good student.  As for the God stuff, that belongs in the church.

"It seems to me that the 14% of people who would rather not have God or the Word in our schools, should listen and allow such values in schools. "

No - the law says we don't have to.  School is for learning.  Church is for God.  Non-Christian students attend school.  Christian students attend school and church.  I don't see how this isn't enough for you guys!!

"They should realize that there is a good and a bad (common sense?--maybe not) and that to grow into well-rounded, prosperous individuals, we need to know these things--not avoid them.  They should sit back and listen and try to understand just a little bit.  Especially this day in age: We need to be awake!!"

I am aware of good and bad.  I have morals.  I know these things, and I do not avoid them.  I don't want to "sit back" and listen to something that I do not believe in.  Go to church if you wish to hear about God.  School is for learning.

I think you need to get rid of your ignorance about the teaching profession before you go criticizing public school.

Well we have a pretty good system now, I think.  There is education in school, and that's it.  If you go to public school, you get an education.  If you wish for a religious education as well, you go to church.  Should you wish to kill two birds with one stone, you go to private school.

School is for education.

Church is for religious education.

Everyone must learn the former...but only those who wish should learn the latter.

I'm beginning to wonder if you're intentionally trying to be an idiot, or if it just comes naturally.

Way to respond like a normal, sensible human being.

With you know...thought.

"Your Silly"

At least I know how to spell.  I know the difference between "your" and "you're", and when to use each word.  I know that the only word that is capitalized in sentenced is the first word and certain pronouns and proper nouns.  I also know that sentences end with periods.

Guess I'm not so "silly".  

~AAAA

[you're a total moron.]

"Why don't we just tell the 14% to shut up and sit down?"

I usually don't like to use words like this, but...you're a total moron.

What a wonderful attitude to have - "My way is right because I said so...so everyone who doesn't agree with me should go to Hell!!"  Oh wait...where have I heard *that* before??  That's right.  Y'all know what I'm talking about.

I'm wasting valuable energy just typing the words to respond to your horrendous post.  Get some common sense and some decency.  Somehow, I just can't picture Jesus saying "Why don't you all sit down and shut up!!!"  Am I wrong in thinking this?

And by the way, prayer out of schools is a good thing.  So leave it alone.

It's things like this that make me wonder how the human race has survived for so long.  

~AAAA

Krazeekc can't blame the school system for her spelling errors because she is homeschooled.

GarCola - I agree.

~AAAA (who just graduated a few weeks ago with a WONDERFUL public high school education   ...soon to be a college kid!!! woohoo!!)

Hey y'all.

I'm back.

And just so this post isn't totally irrelevant...my senior prom is coming up at the beginning of June.    I'm excited, in case you couldn't tell.  It's going to be fantastic.
