After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective teacher said:

'Let me see if I've got this right.

'You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.

'You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.

'You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.

'You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the final exams.

'You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in English, French or any other language, by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.

'You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.


'You want me to do all this, and then you tell me......

I CAN'T PRAY?'

You have been hired as a teacher about when? It makes plenty of sense.

No one cares if you want to talk to your imaginary friend in the sky.

Just don't expect to make a school sanctioned event out of it.

Its actually unconstitutional to prevent a teacher from praying or to give him/her disciplinary action for it, he/she is just not allowed to start class with it, involve her students in it while in the capacity of a state teacher, or advocate for prayer while she is to be teaching.

Amen if I want my daughter to learn about God---well we have a place for that-church and home-not school----But I tell her you can pray anywhere-good grief I could be in my car and pray driving down the road---I just tell him I cant text Laughing

Unless you are Muslim, then they will build you nice little places to pray using taxpayer dollars. You just have to pick a religion that gets special treatment.
