Because of RE, when I hear something on TV about attacks I know that not all Muslims are bad.

Linda is a qualified teacher, formerly a Section 48 (SIAMS) inspector, and she spent twenty years in higher education engaged in research and in initial and continuing teacher education. Linda is convinced that confident and valued teachers are the key to successful RE in any school, and that the REQM has a very important contribution to make to the subject’s success.

RE is a time when everyone is equal because there might not be a right answer.
I like heated debates ad discussion in RE as they show me how passionate we can be about topics. In a discussion you listen and accept and then present your view, but a debate is better because you get to analyse and challenge other people’s beliefs, and in the process you get challenged!
I learn new things about God and different religions so you know how to respect people.
In RE, the aspect I love most is that you never get bored. Each lesson is different and interactive which makes it so much easier to learn and then use it in an exam.
Unless RE is at the front, it is forgotten about.
