It's a total waste of time and money.

Christianity was a compulsory subject in schools back in the 50's

We never had the problems with child behaviour then with what we are experiencing now.

Children need to be taught from an early age to have good manners. respect  people., and property

Television and computer games promote too much violence and sex and the children believe that is the normal way to live.
