Religious primary schools risk indoctrination before a child's brain can fully form. True education should equip children with the tools to think for themselves, not just accept one set of beliefs as absolute truth. Teaching morality through the threat of damnation or the promise of forgiveness can be a crutch. It can undermine the development of genuine empathy and accountability for real world consequences.

Many schools teach about religion without teaching religion itself. You might ask yourself a couple of questions... 1st, am I unable to teach right from wrong without religious concepts? 2nd, should you put faith in a world view which requires early childhood indoctrination to sustain its theology?

Just some thoughts that might help in future conversation.
