  Case: Prayer in School
Is it okay for teachers to pray with their students at school?
One of the teachers I work with stops the students everyday at 9:11AM to pray for those who passed during the 9/11 terrorist attack. So it is a mixed bag, but I want to know what is morally correct.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I went to a private school as a child, where this was common practice. However, I would never do this in a Public School setting. First, because different students practice different religions. Second, there is a separation of church and state. Conducting a unit on religion to educate students is one thing, but stopping class to pray with them every day is counter-productive.

Comments: I agree with everything written above. Private school and public school are two different entities with different rules and run by different groups.
