Parents are not prefect and everything they say may not be the right thing to do, but pleasing them is the best policy so kids should do it anyway. Twain warns “the best policy in the long run” (291) is to do what your parents say even when it is wrong, because if you do not and get caught, punishment will be waiting for you. That is advice that we have all heard, but find it impossible to follow while growing up. Since most children do not
Supporters of this idea state that we are stifling spiritual beliefs and teaching children to be disrespectful towards religion. There are ways I could see it disrespectful, because a child could think that not allowing prayer would mean it’s something bad or unnatural. This could easily be fixed, if the schools explained that allowing prayer could hurt children’s feelings and their religious beliefs if they are different. As for the supporters claim that we are silencing their beliefs, I can argue that the fact that prayer is not banned. Each of the children can pray at recess, lunch, and whenever they are not being taught by the teachers.
Their religious values, controlling use of technologies, sustaining gender roles and family, education, work life, and resistance to cultural change remain as their fundamental purpose in the way they have chosen to live their every day lives. Education within the Amish world is extremely different then American main stream. They are taught the necessary subjects they need for living in small private schools and the Amish believe that anything past an eighth grade education isn't necessary because furthering ones education past that would promote superiority which is not allowed in the Amish community. The things that you don’t know, they believe that you will learn everything else through working. When Amish children turn 16, the rules change.
Their standard of living is well below the poverty level and I’m sure there are some hand-to-mouth survivor. I come to this country is seen as a way for the job opportunity and education for their children, but when there is work to do, education must take a back seat to survival. Ms. González valued education and family values. She does not dare let Jesus associate with their peers at school because of what she sees as an undesirable influence on your child. She recognizes that the medium is the day set in a world that is not related to, but is forced to reconcile all that with his desire to excel for Jesus.
Playing cards and dancing are a few examples of what was believed to be wrongful. The people were imprisoned if found not to be living by Calvinism. I think people were drawn to John Calvin’s beliefs because religion seemed to be established and with a strong leader. People probably were drawn to having a religion with rules set in place. I personally think people should be allowed to have their own opinions and views on religion.
So in other words religion makes up our definition of morality which we are supposed to live by. But I would like to say otherwise. In an essay by Anthony Brandt “Do Kids Need Religion”, he presses on a point that while children do not need religion to guide them in life, the path which they eventually will find themselves, however the religious beliefs help the child “trust” their parents. The key phrase in that essay for me states that “children can be taught the importance of right versus wrong without the benefits of religious training”. Also it says that “moral understanding is acquired in stages, that it is a developmental process that unfolds, to some extent, as naturally as intelligence itself”.
Maybe if we had them in schools there wouldn’t be the need for them in jail”. The message of course was that teaching the Bible in school would keep people out of jail. Personally, I wouldn’t want that being forced on my child, if I had any. I believe school isn’t a place for religion, which is something that children should be exposed to in the home, at the parent’s discretion. If I ever have children, I will expose them to a wide range of options and let them make their own decision once they are old enough to do so.
The issues of whether parents should allow their kids watch the show arise and come into question as he explains the struggles of parenting. Fagin takes the stance on both sides of the spectrum on whether a child should be exposed to the unfiltered material of South Park. He says that children shouldn’t be exposed to a show like South Park if they aren’t mature enough and don’t have enough life experience. But also claims that you cannot keep them away from seeing things like this. Fagin talks about how important of an issue that good parenting is and explains how parents should let their children make their own judgments and to prepare them for the world.
That includes the kids who want to run wild, and for the parents that want perfection. One must compromise with the parents and their children; this comes with the responsibility of making sure the kids have a good time but at the same time, abiding by most of the already set house “rules”. Sometimes babysitters have to bend the rules in order to be the best. Follow this instructional paper and anyone can be a successful and rich babysitter. Just remember no one said this was going to be easy, it’s not something that can be picked up quickly; it requires the balance of fun, cleverness, and skills.
One of the many reasons that home school parents feel passionate about home schooling is their religious beliefs. Since religion is no longer permitted in the public school system, many home-school parents feel that their children have been short-changed in this area. It is their wish to raise their children in an environment that not only allows religion but also embraces it. Having deep religion beliefs, parents who home-school for religious reasons are said to be very passionate people. It is this passion that feeds their children’s educational needs.
