In my own school life, RE (Religious Education) turned into RI (Religious Instruction)

I had a beautiful RE teacher at QEGS. She was married to the Chemistry Teacher. Both of them despaired of me.

Bunsen Burners were the best fun we had in the Chem Lab :o)

My point – Why did Education turn into Instruction?

I will be forever thankful to my Mum and Dad for NEVER, EVER forcing religion on my brothers and I.

One of the most #DISGUSTING things that I ever did (according to the out-laws) was refuse to have MY boys “Christened.”

When asked (very angrily) Why ?

I answered – “When they grow up, they can choose their own religion. Or choose to not choose.”

I may be their mother. I am NOT their Religious Instructor.

One boy spent time in Japan. ‘T’other spent lots of time in the Middle East.

I am still – to this day – UNFORGIVEN :o(
