Question: Can I read my Bible in school to my self in class?

Answer: The work that students do in class is subject to the control of the teacher. However, if a teacher gives no guidelines on what students may select to read during a free reading period, a student may read the Bible or any other religious literature.

I think that, we as kids, should be allowed to read anything in our intrest. So i believe it is appropriet for anyone to read the Bible or any religous books. In my opinion, I think teacher should not have control over books, it like restraining us from learning beyond what we are supposedto know.

Reading your Bible in school should be applauded as reading it is reading one of the greatest and oldest books still in print. Many teachers think it may be better to read about imaginary characters who are witches, hobbits, or monsters. They encourage our young people to read these types of books out loud together, memorize the characters names and dress up in their costumes. This in my opinion is a form of worship, and a weird kind at that. The bible has advice for all situations and people. It may even help you to deal with a domineering teacher. The bible is even available on PDA's, then

No, you cannot read your bible in class because in social studies we have learned that what ever happens in church or any place stays there for what ever reason!!!!!
