Depends on how they are discussing this topic. If it's just to get the kids reactions and for the children to speak out what they believe....then it may have some purpose.
IF it is to upset the class and the kids are becomming aggitated, then no I dont believe it would have a place in the classroom.
IT is on the news and news articles all the time.
Every year, someone starts this "end of the world thing" and people get upset.
Just believe in God and he will always take care of you.
Many blessings,

When was free speech done away with????????? Why can't children talk about this? This topic is in the news every day.
For the children who want to know. Get a King James Bible and read the book of Daniel in the Old Testament and the last book of Revelation in the New Testament.
The Bible says in more than one place "world without end." The world will be renewed and Jesus is returning to rule and reign as King over His people.

They already do.
I believe it says something about the Sun expanding into a red giant in the next 5 billion years and heating up all life on Earth, destroying it.
[edit]: oh...the 12/21/12 thing is purely superstitious. There's no reason to teach it. It's like teaching Y2K in classrooms in 1999.

Sure...science has established a date about 5 billion years from now. The Earth will likely become uninhabitable about a billion years ahead of that.
The rest would need to be in some type of Philosophy class. Those typically are university level.

I don't think it's wise for anyone to discuss when the end of the world *should* come, until we have somewhere else better to live. If it *might* come, that is a different story, and I imagine could be discussed in any science class (with scientific rationale) in which it is appropriate for the arguments.

Only in the context of science: i.e. exploding sun, meteors, global warming.
NOT in religious examples. Which would a teacher use? The Norse Ragnarok? Or the Mayan calendar ending in 2012?
NO mention of an anti-Christ, gods fighting each other, or any other mythology

It depends. If it's in a science class you can, but I don't know why you would talk about it in any other classes.
Also it should only be discussed to students in middle school and up. I don't think younger children, especially elementary school children, should hear things like that. They're too young to understand something like that and it can also upset them.

Yes! They could use the book of Revelation as a resource and as an eye opener to students. Anyone that studies and does what the book of Revelation says will receive a blessing.

depends if we are talking about an asteroid crashing into earth or a nuclear war, but if we are talking religous the NO because it would be disrespecting poeple who don't follow the religion. How would you feel if I said you religion was a lie and you are wasting your time. Very dangerous to talk about religion in schools

NO. Why freak out a bunch of kids over a meaningless happenstance of numbers from a man made calendar?
