I have always wanted to send my children to a pagan school, but at the moment there's only one that I know of in the UK and it is too far, so:

Do you think a more modern lesson in Religious Education would benefit those who wish to know more about the religion to dispel the 'rumours' and / or know more about the practises as a religion?

Also I remember whan I was back in school and the only information on Witches and witchcraft was in the history lessons on the burning times.

no i dont think it should be explicitly taught as such but surely you cannot teach religion without touching upon other beliefs so as a subject by itself no, but as a part of a rounded religios education class maybe along with every other religion

I am a pagan mother of three, my oldest being in school. I have recently found out that some schools are not allowed to give time off to pupils who are Pagan/Wiccan to celebrate the Sabbats. I do not think this is right as other "well known religions" are entitled to time off school if their festivals fall on school time. If one religion is allowed then I think all should be.

I agree that this is discriminating against our religion to not be able to celebrate our festivals during the day so our children are able to participate. I am unable to arrange days out in nature to allow my children to run free and celebrate properly.

I like mine cooked meduim rare, yum
