It's just a job, a seven week contract for crying out loud. I'm not teaching the Quran, just curriculum. If I don't like the school I leave. Easy. Most Muslims here aren't nuts anyway. They just get on with their lives like everyone else. Don't worry, if I find they're teaching extremism to those kids I'm outta there. Something tells me though if they hire non muslim teachers they're not exactly fanatics.

They have to teach evolution. It's law here. We don't have the religious creation lobby like in america. The schools can adapt what they teach but cannot just say they won't teach that thing. All standards and educational outcomes are set by the government. Most people in Australia don't buy creation anyway. Evolution vs creation is not a politicised issue for education like it is in America.

We have religious schools because the religions start their own schools and that's fair enough if they can get people to go to them. And they do, they are quite popular. They are still bound by the laws of the state and federal education departments though, and have the same assessments and standards.

You obviously don't know much about our education system. Even religious schools can't not teach certain things. We have a national curriculum. Christian schools teach the bible and Muslim schools teach the Quran. State-run schools don't teach any holy book. This school is about people having a choice of where to send their kids. As far as I'm concerned, I don't teach Muslims or Mormons or Christians or Jws or Buddhists, I teach students. Students! That the girls wear little hijabs is not my business. A job is a job, a student is a student and the curriculum is the curriculum whatever my religious views.

i don't have to wear the hijab.We teach the Australian curriculum, but still one must be sensitive to cultural proprieties no matter what the school.

Agreed. I say ISIS is no more representative of Islam than the KKK is of Christianity.

I just got a job teaching in a school run by moderate Muslims. The students are Muslim and do their prayers at school and have daily Quran lessons. My job is to teach Art, English literacy and literature, and History. I have 19 students aged 12-14 and will get paid well to teach them. I am nervous because I've had some bad experiences teaching but I feel it's liberating to say, "Screw jws, I'm workin for Babylon!!"
NB. This school is not a terrorist school. It is for Muslim children whose parents want to preserve tradition yet learn the Australian way. The school aims to create a nurturing community.

Probably quite a few but they won't say so. It usually takes afew years for these things to sink in. Give your mum time and gentle encouragement and she may see that this is the tip of the iceberg.

poll, why would you hide it your buisness/job
by sowhatnow inhow many people on here who were or are jws, owned or ran a buisness who would not willingly let people at the k hall know, maybe to avoid feeling like you had to give your fellow brothers and sisters a discount, or free help, or out of fear of being judged.
did you only help out the pioneers?
and not the poor ones?

Funny, when I was a high school teacher no jws asked me to help their kids with assignments or tutor them...shows that the free stuff expectation doesn't apply to important things.
