Hello all,

I know by the title of this post you might say why did you do that, but for my son, the school we have sent him to was the best option for him in terms of the support he gets.

My son is 13 years, loves school, his favorite subject is I.T, he is doing well in all his classes except R.E - he won't partisipate in lessons and hs to be taken to a different room to do other things - and going to a RC school his misses out on a few of the school trips.

When he was younger he did believe in god, at the age of 7 he decided to be atheist.(his choice)

I have tried to explain to him that they aren't trying to make him have the same views as them and that christianity is a fairly intresting subject as are all religons but he just refuses to go to any of the classes.

I am an atheist myself, my other children -19yrs - atheist, 9yrs - christian and 7yrs - christian (all their own choices)
