Is it because they cannot get their children to listen to them, so they want the school to take responsibility for raising their children? Are their kids so undisciplined that they cannot get them to go to church or even teach them the tenets of their religion and therefore want the school to do it for them?

If you would study American history you would know that the original purpose for public school was to teach children to read the Bible. The first Bible published in the USA was published by our congress.
If you studied crime in the USA you would see that when Christianity was taken out of the public schools (just a few years ago) that crime began to rise in this country at an alarming rate.
I remember many times taking a gun to school. Most kids did, and they were all loaded and kept in unlocked cars. It was okay then. Every young man had a knife in his pocket or on his side. There was almost no crime.
The problems you are witnessing today are the direct result of removing God from our schools. No credible historian would argue against that statement. The godless schools did raise our kids, and screwballs like you are the result.

There are a number of reasons.
Parents of the faith want their children to be taught the basic elements of their faith and because they want their children to attend schools which have a certain ethos. This is to reinforce the way they try to bring up their children at home.
Many faith schools have good academic reputations which is why parents who do not practise their faith or are not even of that faith also try to get their children in the school.

colleges do coach those in an exceptionally constrained way. on condition that kindergarten, your *** would be busted for stealing, cussing, attack and sexual abuse. of direction, faith is a sprint a shortcut or easy thank you to coaching morals because of the fact often a series of morals is embroidered into the religion (5 pillars of Islam, ten commandments, and so on) yet no longer everybody needs to deliver their little ones to a non secular college, for one reason or yet another. whether the lecture room ecosystem is amazingly constrained. A instructor lecturing to a collection of twenty six-year-olds could by no potential be waiting to interchange the only-on-one experience of a be certain to baby lesson. a college could in easy terms in my view tell somebody the regulations of society the instantaneous they're caught breaking them. yet all of us comprehend a college can no longer capture each little thing, and while little ones see they might bend the regulations, they continuously desire to work out how far. it is an impressive question, and it truly is a actual gray-section to me. i do no longer think a single college could be waiting to interchange what a good be certain ought to coach, yet on the comparable time i do no longer think that absolutely everyone mothers and dads are keen to grant what's needed of them.

Somebody once said that if God didn't exist there would be the need for us to invent him.Religion in state schools would cause more proplems then it would solve.That is a shame.Even Napoleon thought that religion was important to the state.

I do not send my kids to public school because I do not want the schools to raise them.

Education in all areas is vital to civilise society. To discover who we are we must learn about what's gone before. If we all properly understood eachother's cultures and beliefs, having been impartially educated, the world would be far more stable. It does depend on who's teaching though. could be a loonie.

No, that's not why.
I want to present as many sides to my kids as possible (if and when I should have them), so that they can make up their own minds, and be informed about it.
I would think that ALL parents should want that for their kids.
Kids should be able to LEARN in school, not be indoctrinated.

That's a good question. All they have to do is look at all the other countries that mix govt and religion and see why it's not a good idea.

i feel that Christian parents do not want the Bible taught in school so much 4 their own childrens benifit, but for that of children from non-Christian homes, who may have no other chance to hear the Gospel and be saved.

I think you are confusing Religious Education with Religious Instruction.
