In 1980 (Stone v. Graham), a United States Supreme Court decision struck down a Kentucky law requiring that a copy of the Ten Commandments be posted in every public school classroom, the Court saying:
"The pre-eminent purpose for posting the Ten Commandments on schoolroom walls is plainly religious in nature. The Ten Commandments are undeniably a sacred text in the Jewish and Christian faiths, and no legislative recitation of a supposed secular purpose can blind us to that fact. The Commandments do not confine themselves to arguably secular matters, such as honoring one's parents, killing or murder, adultery, stealing, false witness, and covetousness. Rather, the first part of the Commandments concerns the religious duties of believers: worshipping the Lord God alone, avoiding idolatry, not using the Lord's name in vain, and observing the Sabbath Day."
The reasoning shown above was based on the constitutional requirement for separation of church and state. Presumably the Ten Commandments would have been acceptable if texts from the Koran and various other scriptures had been given equal prominence.
The Supreme Court ruled against school-sponsored prayer in the 1962 case Engel v. Vitale, which led to the removal of the Ten Commandments from public schools. The decision aimed to uphold the separation of church and state as mandated by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The issue of prayer in public schools started to gain prominence in the 1960s. In 1962, the Supreme Court ruled in Engel v. Vitale that state-sponsored prayer in public schools was unconstitutional. This landmark decision marked a turning point in the debate over the separation of church and state in education.
The theme of "The Ten Commandments" movie is primarily about faith, redemption, and the moral guidance provided by the commandments themselves. The film depicts the journey of Moses as he leads the Israelites out of Egypt and receives the commandments from God, emphasizing the importance of following these divine laws for a just and righteous society.
Residential schools in Canada began to introduce summer holidays in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with some schools adopting this practice as early as the 1870s. The length of the summer break varied among different schools and would typically last from a few weeks to a couple of months. However, these holidays were often used by the schools as opportunities for students to engage in farm work or other forms of manual labor.
The public exams in Samastha are typically held in the month of February or March each year. However, it is recommended to check the official Samastha website or contact the appropriate authorities for the exact dates and schedule for the exams.
It depends on the day in the liturgical calendar. The gospel reading is typically taken from one of the four Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. It is part of the liturgy in Christian religious services.
In 1962 the US Supreme Court removed prayer from our public schools. In 1963 Bibles were removed. In 1980, the US Supreme Court said the Ten Commandments had to be removed from our public schools.
The bible was taken out of the public schools in the United States in 1963. The decision followed one a year earlier that disallowed a prayer in the New York public schools. The reasons given in both instances referred to the First Amendments prohibition on establishment of a religion.

Boston Public Schools Educator of the Year-2009
Opening public schools for 12 months a year can have benefits in terms of academic retention and continuity, as well as providing more opportunities for students. However, it can also present challenges in terms of student and teacher burnout, as well as logistics and cost implications. Ultimately, careful consideration of the potential pros and cons would be necessary to make an informed decision.
1845.....all but those schools in Boston until 10 years later
some public schools have 180 and some other private schools have 100
A:There is no inherent difference between Christian or public schools in terms of academic achievement. Where I live, final examination results are published annually, and one public school almost always comes on top of the league table, with both Christian independent and public schools taking the remaining places.
