I have always been on the view that there should not be any sort of religious indoctrination in the educational institutions but I guess some people hold different views.
The religious teachings that we are subjected to during our childhood at homes should be more than enough.
adey said
There are no such things ...There are no such things as Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddist etc children, only children of Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddist etc parents. When they become adults then they can choose what to believe.
The indoctrination of children has no place in an educational establihment. Keep that at home.
Teaching about religions and their history , beliefs and practices are fine as long as you are not told WHAT to believe.

Agree with you on that, Adey ...As a parent myself, I let my kid decide which FAITH (notice that i did not use the word "religion") she would follow.
It's her (my daughter's) right as she will live her own life...I'm here/ther to support and guide her...

Why? Does it make a difference?

Costs approximately US$54,000 a year (obviously higher the older one gets) NOT including extras - so call it 200,000 QR

whats wrong with it any way ...something to share along with this
do you
guys know that many US & UK universities have incorporated the
information from the vedas into their management books..

adey said
Snowstorm ...If one is studying Sanskrit literature, Ancient India or Hidduism then YES.
Not quite sure what you mean by "management books"?

Quite funny really (as in 'funny = peculiar coincidence) ...I was singing the Eton Boating Song to Scarlett the other morning at the gym
Eton isn't somewhere I think about to often, so ..... funny that!
Alexa said
Jauntie...how do you ...Jauntie...how do you know a boy school's boating song???
On second thought......you probably would.....

Hmmm.... "The teacher ...Hmmm....

On a serious note....I do agree that relegious matters are better suited for a home environ.
Again, I feel that the "Sunday Chapels " for different relegions at the same school will only widen the perceived divide . "Catching them young" there too...???

The mahatma ...What if i become?
PM said
I don't see a problem with this ...It doesn't seem to be any mandatory "indoctrination" program but simply a choice. I see no problem with private schools allowing that choice.

PM said
I think "chapel" or religious instruction is what is compulsory ...and that can be in the form of the religion of your choice. It is a private school and they can make those rules if they choose. I actually find it a positive thing that they are willing to offer religious participation outside of the Anglican or Catholic church.

Hmmmm ...I wonder if it's possible to be racist to an individual as opposed to a race?
PM said
LOL QT ...That wouldn't be racist. It would be Mir-ist

PM ...Thought so, but there seems to be a lot of confusion between the two at the moment! (by one individual) LOL
PM said
well, I agree there is confusion ...a good therapist could help and I have offered up a contact
So how are you, QT? Did I ask you if you saw the film Buffalo Boy?

I'm good PM. Just ...I'm good PM. Just finished work! It's funny how I do nothing for 2 months, and when I'm supposed to leave, people find so much for me to do!
How are you this week?
...and no, you didn't ask me. Why?
PM said
I am good ...I am thinking of using it in one of my film classes. It's a Vietnamese film. Here's a link: http://www.globalfil...

Hey! people - the Hindu tutor isn't going to convert Eton! lol ...If I read the article correctly his role is:
"...to provide pastoral support and religious teaching to Hindu boys at the school, and contribute to school inter-faith activities."
In the same way as other boys of different religions at Eton have always had someone from their own faith there to instruct them in their particular religion.
As the article says: "With the appointment of Jay Lakhani, even the Hindu boys will now be offered the same choice."
So? What's the big deal!
PM said
Yes, that was my point Jauntie ...I don't see it as a problem; nor do I have a problem with private schools being able to establish their own rules.

I think it's an OK idea ! ...Much better than when I was at school and all creeds had to attend the same prayers at Assembly! Although I don't remember it doing anyone any harm, but then I may not have wanted to say The Lord's Prayer if I had been Hindi, so .... each to their own!
It also gives the guys a chance to understand each others religions.
QT said
Jauntie, PM ...Now ladies, you're obviously not as insightful as Mir to the workings of the evil "white" empire!
PM, btw, can I borrow the film?
jauntie said
Well, to be fair, all spicemeup did ...was post the News!
However, it was his banner headline which made it seem like Eton (nay, the whole of the UK, even)! was going to be influenced by Hinduism, rather than just some tutor was being taken on board as a pastor to tutor the indoctrinated. :D
PM said
Sure, QT ...You can let me know what you think.
