I quite like the theory that Barabas was Jesus's son. Bar Abbas. Son of the father, and that's why the crowd shouted for him. Then this was reinvented to suit the gospel writers' theology of sacrificial death etc.

I want strategies for supporting a child who is one of 30 not one of 3 or 4.
Particularly if the child has social and emotional needs. Showing me 1 to 1 techniques is not a realistic help for a class teacher.

I think it can be easier to ask controversial questions about your own religion. I can say as a Catholic that most of RC teaching on sexual ethics e.g. contraception, is disregarded by Catholics today and get the discussion going as to why etc. I love when they ask how I can question x and be RC

I was a bit hmm that she is sent to a Catholic school not aware that they are Christians. But yes the happy thing is also intetesting. Mass can be joyful.

What are diocese doing to encourage /support Catholics to become RE teachers? How are they using theologians in Catholic universities/ seminaries to support A Level or GCSE students? How do they celebrate the input, passion and knowledge of our Catholic RE teachers ? Maybe ask those questions too.

Which may be data that questions the argument that teachers don't push students from less affluent or educated backgrounds to go onto uni or to achieve top grades. Lots of teachers see ourselves in these students and are not biased against them.
