School Choice (was How Children REALLY React To Control)

That is about the level of religious content of schools here.**Another difference is that most schools have an annual Christmas play, which may be based around the Biblical nativity play.**We*do*have*lessons*in*what could best be descibed as "comparitive religion": learning about other religions. Most schools in Britain have a school uniform: one school I pass frequently has many girls wearing a white hijab (sp? - Muslem head-dress).**Because they**are*all*white*I*assume*that*this*is*a*set piece*of*uniform.**I*don't know how this would be handled in the US, if a school was to have a uniform. Just to remind any of the U.S. guys: that's a "state religion" that is being discussed in ref to education. Well, a hijab is required by a religion which is not the state religion. The uniforms required by the schools which are part funded by the state religion are indistinguishable from the uniforms worn in state schools that are wholly secular. -- Penny Gaines UK mum to three |

I don't see any big cultural divide between the people I know who were educated at each, *except* in so far as the wealthiest people I know were more likely to have attended private schools. Still, the wealthy people I know who went to public schools tend to have far more in common with wealthy people who didn't, than with non-wealthy folks of any educational persuasion. Bob probably won't see your question, Helen. Of the groups to which this thread was originally cross-posted, Bob posts from misc.education. Since you stripped all the groups except misc.kids, he's unlikely to respond. -- Be well, Barbara Mom to Sin (Vernon, 2), Misery (Aurora, 4), and the Rising Son (Julian, 6) This week's suggested Bush/Cheney campaign bumper sticker: "Four More Wars!" All opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful. Needless to say, they are not those of my Internet Service Provider, its other subscribers or lackeys. Anyone who says otherwise is itchin' for a fight. -- with apologies to Michael Feldman |
