3Boys:
The fact they are trying is already worrying............especially the form of gospel being preached. Even if the 70% is hyperbole on part of CHC, that does not mean we can let our guards down!It would seem like we are chasing a shadow. Just because CHC claims to have penetrated 70% of schools does not mean that they HAVE penetrated 70% of schools, or to what effect for that matter. What kind of proselytising can an external body like CHC do in the P-school environment anyway? Its not as if their members or pastors can just walk in and give a talk during assembly. If you ask me, its hyperbole on the part of CHC.
Worried about proselytising? Shut down all the Christian/Catholic mission schools then. -

Precisely why need this: Teach less learn more mah!Think it's optional for O coz my classmate took and got A1.
Even within same religion, there can be different schools of thought...so how to teach?
But seriously, religious studies ought to be included! At least the discussions are within the school, not under influence of any particular 'school of thought' - unless, i.e., the teacher is KH!
-
Just a thought - I was watching the video and while they claim to have students in 70% of the schools, the number of students they have are like 4 or 6 o 12. Given how few students that is, could it be simply a law of averages? I mean, in a school with a few thousand people is 10 or even 20 people really that big a deal?

Pardon my ignorance - do you mean Singapore actually required you to take religion previously?

Yes, joyceharper. Good question - how about atheist? I believe an atheist would not conceive any religious studies to be 'educational'Mychildren:

What happened if you were an atheist? Anyway, like I've mentioned before, one can always choose to take confucian ethics. It is non-religious.
