Education: which is more important Christ or Having a Cell Phone?

I haven't read the whole thread, but I do just want to say this one thing. You are upset your children know everything about electronics all the brand new stuff....okay well do you honestly think the SCHOOL is teaching them that? Schools don't have classes that talk about the new iphone and what it does. NO, your children learn that themselves! And possibly even by you? How many young kids i see each day playing with their parents phones and ipods while they are in waiting rooms or at a restaurant. It's not the school teaching that, so why are you mad at the students for knowing it? And it's not against the law for kids to talk about Christ at school, they can pray if they want as long as it doesnt interfere with their classes. In fact, every day I was in school we had a "moment of silence" that lasted for 3 minutes each morning and that was a time that can be used for prayer if it was wanted.

Also, there are over 22 MAJOR religions in the world today. If you want the school to start teaching religion you better be okay with your kids learning about Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc etc.
