Newest Review: ... of the average family. 2. I have found that the average child who is put into such a school is normally fed only what that particular denomination wants them to know and often any free thinking is discouraged especially if the child does not come to the same conclusion as the teacher. This also flies in the face of what religion supposedly teaches to others. In most circles today, you hear that religions are supposed to be all inclusive and caring for others who do not necessarily agree, yet religious leaders do not always practice this when it comes to the teaching of the young people in their charge. 3. When the child comes into school ... more

When I was a child, my education ran the gamut from regular primary schools to a few years at a private school that was run along denominational lines. Later after graduating from university, I also spent a couple of years teaching in a denominational school. Like a few of my other reviews, I do not expect that all will agree with me but I appreciate all who are willing to consider my thoughts and leave any comments. As those who have already read some of my reviews are aware, I am a minister in a church. Yet while I have strong beliefs in certain areas that I believe are biblically based, there are just as many areas that I believe boil down to personal ... Read the complete review

I’m not religious, I was raised as a Church of England Christian and attended church but now I am older I choose not to follow the Christian faith. In fact I am an atheist. When I tell people I take RE for A-level they all think that I want to be a nun when I grow up, but this is far from the truth. I am going to talk about the AS level RE which I am taking now. Since primary school I have studied RE (religious education) and have enjoyed it. From tales of the Bible to more unusual religions it has been really fascinating to me. For my GCSE’s I got an A. You had a choice at my school with RE. You can take it as one lesson a week and get ½ a ... Read the complete review
