Here in Australia, where the school year starts in February, rather than in September as it does in many other countries, kids want to learn in a safe and caring environment. Parents want to feel confident that their children won’t be in danger while at school. Teachers want to do their work free from harm. Issues of safety can vary from country to country. And methods for achieving security at school may differ. But many who are involved in education are finding practical spirituality to be especially helpful.
This article, Kids, Parents and Teachers Talk About Safety at School, by Beverley Goldsmith was originally published in April 2002 issue of The Christian Science Journal. It contains comments from children, parents and teachers regarding the practical benefits of spirituality. The full article is currently available on JHS-online.
