Does prayer stop my students from spewing vulgarities, wearing slutty clothes, or constantly abusing teachers for trying to teach them? Does prayer improve study skills?
The sad truth is, prayer won’t help public education; competent teachers, willing (or, at least compliant) students, and involved parents are the only REAL solutions to the sad debacle that is public education. Prayer will only add more problems, more lawsuits, and more frustration. Religion breeds intolerance. It doesn’t mean to, but that is an unintended consequence. “You pray to our God, or you’re bad,” seems to be call kids really get from religion. Besides, a school is a representation of the community. This means, yea, most students will believe in God. However, all students are welcome, and to keep that way, prayer needs to stay in the church, not on the school steps and in the classroom, where learning is supposed to take place!
