slave4upop

Besnit

Did you school make you do it or did you choose to do it?

I got my GCSE results last year and I did the full RE thing, my school we didn't have to do it but I know some schools do

Well done BTW.

What's a GCSE...?

slave4upop

Its A british Exam thing

oh..okay... lol

I'm guessing it's some sort of exam on religions...? I think that'd be a good idea to have in the U.S. but too many people would make a fuss over it

Part of the problem with such an exam, though, unless it was worded just perfectly/etc is that, for many religions and scripture/etc, there isn't one right interpretation. There are many possible interpretations of it. To only have a few down with one of those as the "right answer" would not be fair, since there would be many possible interpretations. A question such as "What was the majority opinion of <fill in the blank religious section> between the years of <fill in the years> on <insert passage of scripture from some religious book>?" and then having multiple choice would be okay as there would only be one answer.....whether you agreed with that particular religious section or not.

A question such as "What does this passage of scripture mean?" and having multiple choices would NOT be a fair question due to multiple correct interpretations.
