I think we should. When I look at schools today with all their myriad problems (underfunding, school shootings, violence, racism, gang beatings, low achievement, undertrained teachers, overworked teachers, teachers who don't care, etc.) I think maybe a little faith is just what a lot of kids need, and it could potentially help a lot of people. I suggest three prayers a day.
First off, we start the day off with a prayer to Odin, for the ability and open-mindedness to learn our lessons well and attain knowledge and wisdom.
Second, we pray to Frey and Freya at lunch and thank them for a bountiful harvest. Thank them that we have food to eat even though we may not personally be farmers who go out and work in the fields, and let them know that we appreciate their gifts.
Finally, at the end of the day, we finish up with a prayer to Thor to protect our children as they go their various ways to their homes at night, so that they may come back safely the next day for more learning.
