very well said ma loof! my kids are at a catholic school, im not religious in the slightest but my husband is catholic (not very religious though) and it was important to his dad the kids were baptised catholic, just so happens to be the best school in our area so they go there and I love the lessons they have in RE, the whole school ethos is based around good morals and be kind, it's a gentle school full of gentle souls and im sure a lot of it is down to the heavy curriculum of RE.....don't get me wrong im sure there must be some behaviour issues there too but they get dealt with very swiftly and it's just so calm. She thinks her kids can take exams in monopoly, egg poaching and nose picking and become an electri-shun
