:Dan, you're far too literal.  By "prayer-around-the-flagpole sort of thing" I obviously mean prayer that is separate and removed from classroom instruction.  Your further posting confirms that fact.  There is no praying at the beginning of a class, as [[Isaac Newton]] would do to inspire his scientific discoveries.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 10:25, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

::No, you're right that there isn't prayer at the beginning of every lesson, it would be massively disruptive to the lessons and schooling if there were prayers 8-10 times a day (consider, before prayers could start those not involved because they had a different faith would have to be removed from the classroom, the prayer would have to be held, then those outside the classroom would have to take their places again.  As a standard lesson in secondary school is 30 mins long you would lose at least 5 mins of that lesson time on each and every lesson).  Instead there is prayer, sermon and hymns at the beginning of every schoolday, a far more sensible solution.--[[User:DanHutchin|DanHutchin]] 12:20, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
