Bible in Schools
Question Details: I'm doing a project for class that involves an imaginary student whose family is Catholic. The student is doing poorly and I have to create a lesson plan. I was thinking the bible would a good way to involve the child's family in the childs education. Of course this is an individual lesson plan. Does anyone know the law regarding this type of thing? Is this something that can be done?

no, bad idea. use the culture to get them involve. if they are from Mexico and use concepts and ideas. The history, traditions, etc. what someone else said about teaching English to the parents or inviting them to learn the language isn't a bad idea (on a side note)

The family is free to read the Bible at home but the Bible is out of public education. If the student is in Parochial school then the Bible can be a part of the study plans.
The best way for the student to learn is to be put into classes that teach English as a second language. The parents need to learn English along with their child.
Catholics do not study the Bible like Protestants.

Okay, Now just because the child is Hispanic and Catholic doesn't mean you've gotta bring in the Bible...I mean I am Hispanic...but not Catholic. Either way, I'd NEVER accept someone other than myself and my husband talking to my child about religion. Girl...once you go there, you're on totally shaky ground.
Anyway, there are many more ways to involve the family in the child's education. Send homework in Spanish home, give him a backpack with books in either language for him to read or for his parents to read to him. Bring in his mom in the mornings and SHOW her how to help him with his homework. Tutor him AND mom or dad.
Create a lesson plan based on what this child cares about or a family similar to him. If the child's an immigrant. why not read stories about immigrants in class and discuss what's it's like for an immigrant in the US? If the student is not an immigrant but is just Hispanic, teach a lesson on Dolores Huerta, Cesar Chavez, Rigoberta Manchú...all great Hispanics who worked hard for the betterment of themselves and our people.
What do his parents do? Is his dad a carpenter? Ask his dad to come in and teach the class how to measure or how measuring helps him at work. Does his mom know how to sew? Ask her to come in and make stockings for Christmas. There's so much you can do to bring in families...you have to look deeper, be willing to learn about them and instead of putting them down, learn how to reach out to them where they're at and help the family, as a whole rise above it.

Anyone who advises you to provide extra of some time to the bible than university paintings is flawed and now not doing you any favours. Catch up and hold up with university paintings, it'll support you development in existence in order that at a later degree you'll be in a position to spend the time that you just wish finding out the bible. I'm certain your God has sufficient endurance to provide you a little bit of slack.

no. bad idea. catholics do not study the bible silly. the priests read it for them. they could care less.
also religion in schools is taboo.
so use some other topic, like agriculture, farming or construction jobs. that is what they are interested in. how to build and fence a barn and pasture would be ideal. especially how to work with a group of other workers as a team. they like that
