why? I'm sure in many schools singling your child out for special treatment causes teasing. I'm sure if you did this for all your children that at least one of them must have experienced some blowback from it. And i doubt that N. Ireland is the most religiously tolerant place for children. Was never an issue at my school, we all had religious studies, but that was studying religion as a concept and the various religions.
Why the second reply?

I don't see your point. The alternative, in this instance, was to have your kids taught things you were against, or a little teasing. Principles are principles, you stand by them.

I'm sure if you did  this for all your children that at least one of them must have experienced some blowback from it

No!

Why the second reply?

I was bored, j2's no fun any more, he's run out of opinions to ridicule, so I thought I'd annoy you.

As far as u know....


let them be taught crap and just point out to them how much bollocks it is.

lol, very big of you when you're not the one paying the price.

Of course I'm paying the price, they're my kids, I have responsibilities towards them, and they have trust in me.

Better to teach them to handle teasing than allow adults to attempt to brainwash them.

Ah the 'it builds character' reply, excellent response to your children being teased, and no, if you're unaware of the teasing you pay no price, but your kids do.

Billy

I've had several run-ins with schools in England with my two eldest over religious instruction, and always won, neither of them were teased.

Maybe you didn't hear me, read again, they were not teased.

Or maybe you know more about my kid's lives than I do?

They weren't bullied either, OK?

I taught my kids well, don't worry, no-one puts it over them, any of them.

Billy trust me no one knows your kids lives better than me

So you say.

Are you positive, Billy, that you are privy to every comment your children hear?

How can you be so sure?

If your children are duty-bound to report any and all interactions to you daily so you can suss the intent of others, then you are brow-beating them; I am sure, however, you wouldn't be so cruel, especially to your own children.

You ridicule religion and those who would instruct their children thus (I agree that "school" is not, per se, the ideal venue for religious instruction), and then claim your children are immunized from the hazing of others by virtue of your own superior advisory-please convince me of the efficacy of your supposition?

If you are successful in doing so, I will adopt your stance, as it will surely sweep the world.

I just read your post out to a friend of mine and her comment was, "what an absolute wanker"

So you're running out of opinions, too?

At least I'm not stooping to solicitation, Billy. B)

[ilw]

Billy out of curiousity were any of your children ever teased?

Edit: And what time is it in Australia, isn't it a bit early to be having a friend round and how come your checking posts on the internet at the same time?
