Should Prayer Be Brought Back Into The School Systems?

    There are several reasons why prayer should be brought back into the school systems today. One, if there were prayer in school this could help children to understand how the world was started. Prayer in school may influence a child to read the bible. The child could learn a lot about how the world came about by reading the bible. Prayer in school could also influence a child to be thankful and more appreciative of others. For instance, our school systems today have turned to violence and hatred. If a child is taught about God in school then the child has a better chance of having good morals and is more respectful of others. Therefore, if a child has good morals the child would not want to be violent. If the child’s parent’s do not teach the child about God at home, does not take them to church or read the bible to them, then school is the only place for them to learn about God.
    If the child is not taught about God or religion at home or in school then this could be harmful to the child and also to the public. Children who have no knowledge of God tend to have lower morals than children who have knowledge and believe in God. If children do not believe in God than they seem to think it is okay to carry a gun to school and kill someone. They believe that doing drugs is okay. If you have a parent’s at home that do not believe in God and do drugs than the children think well mom and dad can do it why can’t I. If the child does not believe in God then they think stealing is okay. It seems to me that if the child does not believe in God then they have nothing to fear, therefore, they feel they are invisible and can do anything and it will be okay. If a child is not taught about God and religion at home than school is their only source of learning.
    There are many people in the world today who are completely against prayer in schools. These people feel their children should not have to be exposed to prayer during school time. Maybe the parent’s themselves do not believe in God and they want the same for their children. Myself personally I can not think of any reason not to bring prayer back into the school systems.
    I believe prayer should be brought back into the school systems. I think if religion was more focused on in school, then the school systems would be a better and safer place for our children today. I also believe the teachers would feel more safe at their jobs if they had the chance to teach a student about God.
