Allowing prayer in public schools remains a compelling and often heated issue for many Americans. Is a student-led Lord's Prayer acceptable before the big game on Friday night? What about a two-minute "moment of silence" during home room? Of course, this isn't simply a matter of prayer itself but a representation of a much larger, more encompassing topic: Where does the line exist between religious freedom and religious imposition?

just for your information i go to a catholic school and we are not prayig before and after every class. we pray first thing in the day before lunch and at the very end of the day and have religon class 2 to 3 times a week.
i think prayer should be alowwed in public schools . i think they should give a five minute silent time everyday so that people no matter what religon can pray to their god or leader.
you said they should just send there kid to private school. well paybe that family cant afford to put their children in private. school there not free tuition costs a lot of money its not just like droping your kid off at public school
tution for private school per year=2,000 to 10,000
uniforms cost per year= 500
so its not cheap and dont think that anyone can get into them to you have to go thru lots of test to make sure that you will be able to keep up with all the asignments
