on wednesday mornings, the pupils have to raise up their right hand and recite the pupil's creed, which goes like this:
we as _________________ , pledge to be respectful, and show care and concern to the society. we seek to improve, and achieve as team players, as we are responsible for our own learning.
then right, this boy from my form class, who was standing at the back of the class, did not raise up his right hand and did not recite the creed.
my colleague spotted it and went up to him to question him, and he said that it is against his religion. anyway the boy is a christian.
so my colleague dun understand why reciting the creed was against christianity, and the words in the creed are all positive words. he also felt that using religion is very sensitive, so he immediately called the pastor of holy trinity church and asked the pastor whether is it against christianity to recite the pupil's creed.
the pastor said it is nothing wrong at all, but told my colleague to settle this issue in a tactful manner, and ask the boy which church he belongs to, and who is his pastor, because different churches may have different practises.
interesting~~~
anyway my co-form called the boy's parents, and next week onwards the boy will recite the pupil's creed.
