Well said Canuck. That was pretty close to the thoughts I was going to post. As a public school teacher I am extremely careful about not presenting any specific religious beliefs. I do have my convictions, but it is certainly not my job to push them on my students. On a related concept, earlier in the year I had my students do election speeches over the presidential and we held a mock election with the entire school. I must have hidden my views well because the class was virtually split in two when I asked them to predict who I was voting for. I had them do this just to make sure I was giving each of the major parties equal time. I was pleased that they didn't nail down my actual view. Okay, I'm done rambling. I have a copy of the pyramid ready to post in my room this week and I'm hoping to begin discussing and writing about it next week.
