>This is a public forum and the religious twist is uncomfortable<
True, this is a 'public' forum,
but remember all teachers here do not teach in the public sector...There are
tens of thousands of teachers who teach in the private sector, which can be
religous based education and their philosophy/style etc. is based on their
beliefs...
We are the teachers here, yes we are supposed to separate church and state
'in the classroom' in the public sector, but why limit our discussion here
to just public sector teachers and their views.
I read all with an open mind.
If I think something is going a direction I do not like, it's easy, I just
delete it and move on.
That is what a forum is for...an 'open' platform for discussion of all
types.
We should not have to worry about separating beliefs in our forums here.
