Thanks everyone for the input!!

Peanutter- Thank you- you are spot on- I am already trying to influence him to my own beliefs and not allowing him to find his own path!! But I guess I see my path as an open one- not one influenced by any one particular belief, which is what I would like him to follow until he is old enough to make an informed choice. (which at 33 I have come to conclusion myself that I can't possibly pick one of the many in case it is wrong)- So in such as to not be told one version as the 100% truth. The volunteers are not starting their lessons with "We believe.." they are telling the kids "This is true" which is where my issue lies.

I will look into more of the legislation regarding the SRI in public schools, and also maybe talk to the principal about doing one religion for one term, and then possibly introducing another religion in another term kind of thing. (although we are in a very small town and I suspect there is only one prominent group who are willing to come and do the classes) It isn't the teacher teaching the classes- it is volunteers as mentioned. They have been doing it in this particular school for the last 30 years. I think most parents are ok to go with the flow and it doesn't impact their lives either way- they either do have some kind belief and don't practice or they just arn't too fussed with the whole thing (ignorance/denial etc) I just tend to be someone who feels quite strongly about the entire world religion fiasco and I am probably projecting too much of that onto my 5 year old boy and what he learns for half an hour once a week at school. (not like me at all )

Thanks everyone for the input and the advice! I think I might be writing some letters though... I think now is the time for change, not just for my little town primary school- but for SRI as a whole
