atheists----would you want a christian teaching your children??

Question

any subject like science math english etc. i have had christan teachers and i dont think they are as good.

Answer 1

Hey now. I'm sure there's some bad Christian teachers out there, but also bad teachers of any other religion.

I'm a teacher, and I consider myself a rather good one. I leave the dogma at home, people don't need to hear about that when I'm teaching them English.

Answer 2

Atheists, once again, show blind bias.

One of the World's foremost Palentoligists (that's a Dinosaur scientist, for those atheist who can't handle big words of if I spelled it wrong) happens to also be a Baptist Preacher!

He put forth the concept that some Dinos were warm blooded.

It is a total violation of Christianity to bear false witness that harms someone. Telling a child something that might keep them out of college or cause them to get a bad grade in another class would be a violation of that commandment.

There are facts of genetics and evolution that are self-evident.

That we came chimps is not. A Christian who is wise would teach this properly and make sure the students know it is and undocumented assumption with some superficial evidence. Which is basically what it is. To teach it as fact, makes one subject to a future date when someone decides PLUTO IS NO LONGER A PLANET.

The day science ABANDONS the Chimp theory (and this can happen) is the day 4 billion people discovered they were educated wrongly.

I was educated PLUTO WAS A PLANET, anong with 4 billion others.

And I was taught this by teachers who had religion and also taught us to sing Christmas Carols.

So religion has nothing to do with teaching what is "thought to be factual."

Answer 3

If they keep their religion out of it, why not - they've given a curriculum to teach from anyway? Facts are facts and, if they stick to these guidelines, they aren't teaching them anything more or less than another teacher would.

If they decide to make sure that all kids they're teaching science to treat evolution with extreme caution and are carefully taught creationism at the true story (note: I'd like any child I have to know about religions, I just don't want someone clearly biased to them to teach them as absolute truth), then yes, I would be causing a fuss.

Answer 4

It really shouldn't matter.

That would be like asking if you want a Buddhist, Mormon, Jew, Agnostic, etc. teaching your children?

Through school you're going to get good teachers and bad teachers. It's easy for us all to do well, and respond well to a good teacher. It's up to you to try to get the most out of a bad teacher.

10 years from now, no one is going to ask you if your math teacher was good or bad, or Christian or not, they are simply going to want to know how good YOU are at math.

Answer 5

To be honest as long as they teach there subject well I wouldn't care what faith a teacher belonged too. and of course that they do not force their beliefs onto others.

the only area I think you'd have to be careful in is Science really, as some Christians dismiss it without evaluting it.

but Numbers are Numbers at the end of the day, wheter there is a god or not it doesn't affect math and many other subjects.

Answer 6

I am a Christian teacher, and I rather resent that. ALL of my students are "slow learners," and I bring them up almost 2 grade levels in Reading and Math every year.

By the way, you need to capitalize Science, Math, and English. You also need to capitalize Christian.

There needs to be a comma after the word "teachers" in your last sentence, for it is a compound sentence. Remember, a compound sentence is joined by a comma and a conjunction.

I is always capitalized. You need an apostrophe in the contraction "don't."

There needs to be a comma after "English" as well.



Maybe you weren't a good English student.

When you ask a question like this and criticize someone's grammar, you are opening yourself up to be corrected, as YOUR English is certainly not up to par.

Answer 7

.
a teacher should be teaching the subject that they have chosen to teach without prejudice or a leaning towards any
religion or faith becoming part of the subject .
a teacher should be nutral and not push their own personal views upon any they may teach .if its religious study even then the teaching should be of all angles and the teacher would be in the wrong to point those learning in any personal direction

Answer 8

As long as they are:

1. A good teacher.

2. Do not use the class time to preach or pressure the children into a religion.

Why should I care?

Answer 9

I had plenty of really good teachers that turned out to be Christian. They checked their religious beliefs at the door and became scientists for at least the class period. My favorite teacher of all time was in 8th grade Algebra. He is the only reason I can still work the quadratic equation and Pythagorean Theorem to this day and every Sunday you could find his little truck in front of the First Baptist Church.

Answer 10

Since 80-90 percent of all teachers are Christian in the United States don't you think atheists in general are ok with it. This is a weird question to ask.

Good Luck!!!
