We choose to live our lives in accordance with our believes. The two biggest impacts on
American lifestyles happen to be
religion and government. Religion has many different names, gods, belief"s and versions. Christianity is the biggest religilon in
America and there are millions of
churches across the nation .In fact if you took the amount of schools prek to colleges and added them all together there sre still more
churches than educational facilities. It is a little ironic that in a country with kids not getting proper aducation and graduated not being able to afford
college that we still feel the need to build more churches. High school's become more and more over populated everyday which causes more oppurtunity for young one's to run with a negative crowd and get into trouble because of the lack of attention that a
teacher can give a student. This is just as acceptable as having a
church with 20or less people in it's congregation because
God needs a
new house everyday according to devowed rleigious followers. School's do in fact ask for
money for field trips, instructional fees lunch
money etc, and
parents do get upset sometimes but once again it is ok for a
church to ask for on "offering" every time there is a
church function. Suppose you go to chuch once on Wednesday and twice on Sunday that is fifty two weeks a year times 3 vistis which equals 156 days of being asked for an "offering". If you give a minimum of one dollar each time that is $156 a year now lets saysay there is a congregation of 120 people and they all do this that equals $18,720.00 minimum because some people give more and keep in mind this is an estimate. Now think about this, when was the last time the PTA at school mentioned wanting to do more for
students but having a poor budget. Better yet when was the last time you really looked at your
kids texrbooks, When I was in school I had to be lucky to get a nice textbook because with lugging it around everyday within a couple years they get pretty ratty. So what if that $18,000 went to the
schools from just one
church or even half of it. Maybe the school board wouldn't hire teachers that have
sex with nine year olds or tell
students to dhut up then deny it. The idea of school uniforms and better
food come in to
play as well. Most importantlt maybe just maybe newer textbooks more often, we all know that history and science changes everyday so what is wrong with more updated textbooks? There is said to be seperation of chuch and state but I guarantee that if you said the pledge od allegiance you would say God. When prayer is banned from school then why would a
teacher make a student say
God in the pledge. Also look at the
money you give your
kids to
buy lunch with it says
God as well, even the coins do. I support
churches as well as school because they both
play an important role in society. My view is this, school is the most important in life growing up because it gets us through life. I understand that to those who choose it
religion is important but what does it say about our society that
kids have to grow up so fast having to deal with what will happen when they die, or having the
drug issue shoved down their throat. With me growing up the more I had something repeated to me the more I wanted to try it that goes for
sex and
drugs which yes I
love sex and pot is great. I still have
sex because I'm married but I don't smoke pot because it is too much of a hassle which is a decision I made on my own not the school. Let
kids be
free and build more
schools give more people the oppurtunity to answer more than three correct answers on Jeopardy.
