Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
I’m more concerned with the religious stuff making it into the curriculum; being more than once a week, and being taught by “authority” figures.
Kids generally do reflect the familial values; but they are also susceptible to other views.
Yeah, I think like you I would accept kids learning about Christianity at school, but would be upset if it was part of the curriculum (unless it was to learn about all NZ’s common religions).
If the education was on religion that is no problem, I have an issue with RE as is almost always about a specific religion.
It’s also normally not by a trained teacher. Mileage varies but I know someone whose RE teacher cried at each session. That must have been a bit weird for all involved.
That would be messed up
