3. I would never subject children to such schools.

Since all religion, in my opinion, is based on faulty logic, there is far too much opportunity for that illogical world view to be taught as fact. Children are developing their methods for examining everything in the early grades. Why handicap a child by forcing him or her to learn myths as truth?

While some religious schools do a decent job of teaching some things, there's always that mythical undertone to everything. Some children will survive the indoctrination and realize the truth, but many will not, and might go through their entire adult life without even questioning the myths.

That said, I'm not in charge.
