Prayer is breathing to a Christian. It would thus sound absurd to ask if we are allowed to breathe. We should neither be for or against allowing this or not since the main purpose why children go to school is to learn, as long as it does not disrupt this purpose, even bringing toys to play during recess and after class should not be a matter of policy or issue.

It depends I guess on the country you are in and the type of school you are attending. I am in Canada and we as a country embrace all religions and philosophical beliefs. My daughter can count amonst her classmates Muslims, Christains, Hindus, Sikhs, Jews, Agnostics, Atheists, Pagans, and anything and everything in between. Therefore I do not think prayer would be necessary or appropriate in our public school system. I think that prayer should be preactised at home with family and at the church of one's choice. That way the school will not be playing favoritism to anyone group and all of cultural and religious diversity may be celebrated in an atmosphere of tolerance. Just my own opinion and if others do not share it that is cool. Cheers!
