In public grade schools, there used to be classes in deportment (sp?)and citizenship. Considering how much kids are acting up in and out of the classroom, parents who are working too many hours to put food on the table may need the school to come back in and bring these classes back.

Same here. Not one day of non-public education, but we were able to learn these things without any problems.
And OPhiARen3, I'm one of those fundamentalist Christians you're so worried about. I'm talking 2-3 weeks of learning basic information about various phrases which are within the realm of one religion or another. I would NOT want a public school education teaching ANY religious philosophy, and am against prayer in school (although a moment of silence can benefit anyone).
