Last yr in yr 7 RE was world religions, a history of religious developement, balanced, well debated and sceptics were given equal floor time and embraced even.
now in yr 8 they focus heavily on Chrisitianity, had no issue at all as thought it was been done as a "history" type tpoic, not a We Must All Be Good Christians and Believe in God.
DS is a cynic, sceptic, and very dismissive of the god concept, being a scientist has only helped him along his path to purgatory.
He regularly challenges concepts in class, which last year was encouraged
the school does not hymns, prayers or anything
RE is COMPULSORY at GCSE at least as short course, which is also sticking in my throat as it means ds will have to drop a subject he really likes ...possibly.
So anyway enouh rambling
His RE teacher told him yesterday to keep his non Christian thoughts in his head.
Now he did wait until "any questions" session of the lesson. His questions were not offensive, related to the lesson etc
Am frankly baffled
