[quote=Anonymous]My youngest had a teacher in elementary school who didn't say the pledge. One of the children asked, and she answered that it was for personal reasons. That was that. The kids still said the pledge (or not, as appropriate individually) when directed, and the teacher stood quietly, respectfully. It was a great experience for my kid in a bunch of ways. He learned that not everyone does everything everyone else is doing. He learned that his teacher had her own life. He learned that one does not continue questioning "personal reasons" because it's rude. He learned how to be respectful even when he's not engaging in common behavior. After that experience, he no longer complained about saying grace at his grandparents house - he had learned the concept of being respectful of others beliefs even when he doesn't share them.[/quote]
