i dont have a clue how the canadian year/grades work but ill start from the beginning; 10 years old means your in year 7, 11 years old means your in year 8 etc etc. To sign up for an english bording school i would recommend going to speak to the british embasy they'll point you in the right direction :) or if u can get the numbers get on the phone to a council :)

Traditional? None. Tradition implies starting from a very young age in balance, leaping, and gymnastics training, as well as basic hand-to-hand skills. Consumption of poisons and acids early on. Self-mutilation as a memory technique. Very brutal stuff. For the sake of completeness, while I haven't located any legitimate schools, there are some posers in the Brickhill area. http://www.uscninjutsu.com/ Please do not consider them.

Here is a school i found.. http://www.uscninjutsu.com/schools

When I went to secondary school in the UK, they invited the Gideons to hand out bibles

When I went to secondary school in the UK, they invited the Gideons to hand out bibles?
Now they excused the light brown children, and just forced the pink and dark brown ones to listen and take bibles. Who can I sue for this outrage? The headmaster, the school, the LEA or all 3?

your just picking now with an atheist view
5 :
i remeber that my school was a little rough and they had to walk out past some kids burning bibles. I remember keeping mine safe just in case god was real. thhan i spilt orange juice on it accidently. He didnt seem bothered. I dont think the giddeon lot go to schools anymore. perhaps you are right and they do. you wont win anything by suing them you arnt damaged by it.

Hey, all I got was a colouring book.

Oh come on! I was there for that too, and I doubt very much that they are mind readers and assume people of a certain color are of a certain faith.

Why sue? Will that get you anywhere? This world is full of heretics and hypocrites. Rather turn your back on wickedness and become truly born again, then do Gods righteous work until Jesus comes to take you home. John 3:3-5 means, "If someone wants to be born again, they should be born of water and the Spirit. Here water means the baptism of Jesus, which does away with all the sins of the world once and for all. The Spirit means that Jesus who received baptism from John the Baptist is God Himself.รข€�

All of them probably. Religion in UK schools is a tricky point. I didn't appreciate being forced to pray etc without having what I was doing explained to me. Once I'd worked out what I was doing, I was pretty annoyed that they'd forced me to do it. And if they excused kids on the grounds of skin colour, I should imagine some of those other 'pink and dark brown' children have greater reasons to sue than you.

Possibly the school, the Gideons sound fierce in the UK. They had a table an have out bible and tea at my school. They where quite kind and never flagged people down which i have seen them do before and find quite rude.
11 :
I went to a secondary school in the UK and my Muslim teacher handed me a Bible. WTF.
12 :
When I started secondry school which I think was in 2000 (well I'm 20 so it was around 9 years ago) we didn't have these gideon people come in but at the begining of our first year there they gave us these bibles and I was like what the hell do you expect me to do with this?! It was a secular school as well! Do you mean skin colour? why did they give out bibles based on skin colour?
13 :
probly wont get much from them because they dont have much money. There a non profit group that makes all there money from donations and then spends it on printing bibles to send free around the world.
