They do not have chapel or religion classes, but in free time they are allowed to but they would probably get teased for it.
It has already been decided by the government, public schools can't force kids to pray or attend religious meetings, and public schools can't forbid classes on religion as long as it is only an elective, they can't forbid after school religious clubs formed by students either.
Not out loud prayer but you can pray to yourself.
AWESOME QUESTION MAN (or girl)! God is not allowed in public schools because He might "offend" some kids or parents of kids that go to public schools. Children are not allowed to pray to God. However, I bet if you ask a local public school if their students are allowed to pray to Allah (not the same as the Christian God). There are certain rights you have in school, and that is you can have any religion, but you can't witness to other people. You cannot pray in front of other children, and teachers cannot teach religion unless its on a historical point of view. Is this fair, or unfair? You decide. :0) We actually studied this in school. The constitution of our country keeps school and church as separate as possible. there are multiple laws involved with the issue as well
No, because there could be some relign in the school that does not pray
It is the law that say you can not tack religion or pray in public schools but you can have religious things, like a Bible, in a public place, like a hotel.

Yes children can pray, but there is no public prayer. Since there is no state religion whose prayer would you say? But if a child wants to pray before they eat lunch or just say a prayer to themselves they may.
It says God's name in the pledge of allegence. i think thats rediculous. i am a catholic so i think this is very wrong. it im going to send out a law saying that public schools should say the pledge of allegence in public schools. I also think that public schools should pray and go to mass once a week. i know that catholic schools do too. this is also absolutely ridiculous. I also think that praying is the bomb dig a dig. praying and mass should be a important quiet time in your life. JUST REMEMBER TO PRAY GO TO MASS AND SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGENCE!
Yes, but Catholics also believe that everyone should have the right to practice their own religion. In Catholic schools, there is prayer everyday, and Catholics believe that in public schools where there are kids of all different religions, they should have the freedom to pray or not.
Yes , during the moment of silence you are allowed to pray and before the CRCT [ CRITERIA REFRENCED COMPETENCY TEST]
God isn't out of the school. If a child wishes to pray they can. The only thing that can't be done is school prayer. We live in a society of many religions so whose do you use to pray to?
in India & many other places people pray in schools before the class begins. It is considered very good to pray before you start studying in Hinduism.
