sham71 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Originally posted by nomme Note that the comments were also aimed at Jewish and Evangelical Christian schools so the title of the thread should be Muslim, Jewish and Christian Schools are failing in their duty. Doesn't have the same ring to it does it? Don't let the truth get in the way of a good headline eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sham71 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 in fact, lets start a thread 'Christian schools are failing in their duty'. Its just as accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 In fact I think that it would be a good idea to abolish religious schools all together. Why not leave it to the religious establishments and or home to provide the spiritual instruction and guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBoogie Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I think religious schools are a bad idea anyway. They aren't open to the free thought of mind and are going to be very biased in their teaching. On the other note, I hate hate hate those horrible British pubs in Spain etc. I'd rather actually go to Blackpool than Costa Blackpool. Surely you go away to see the world?!

sanman Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 To Sham71 & Greenback, that was an honest mistake on my part. On the news story that I heard it did not mention Jewish or Christian schools, neither did it ask them for a reaction although it did from a Muslim school. I totally agree with Mo & Lboogie that single faith schools should be abolished. Also please note the opening paragraph of the story: "Independent Muslim schools must make greater efforts to show pupils a British "common heritage", says the education watchdog for England" I think this proves I can be excused my slip.

max Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Will change the title to Faith Schools ... to avoid any claims of racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snook Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I'm against faith schools really, that should be taught at home and in the place of worship. Isn't it a bit daft to say that these schools are failing by not teaching other religions? Isn't it a bit like saying that a football academy is failing by not teaching enough rugby?!?

sanman Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Snook I think the point is that the National Cirriculum says that there should be some teaching of the major faiths in this country. I wait to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wait to be corrected. Well, I wasn't being that serious, but I think more education of the major faiths is a good idea. When I was at school we learnt hardly anything about other faiths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildrneil Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I'm not sure that faith schools are bound by the national curriculum I was certainly reading something to that effect about the Vardy foundation acadamies, perhaps someone more in the know (like at all!) can correct me here?
