給孩子老師寫了一封信

大兒子上小學四年級，今天回來說課間同學聽說他不信上帝，都說他應該信，他一個人辯不過他們。我給老師寫了封信讓他明天帶去。兒子覺得信寫得不錯，但老公說看不出有什麽必要寫這樣一個東西。想問問大家，你們會怎麽處理這事兒？先謝謝了。信如下：

Dear Mrs. XX,

XXX told me that the class had a debate on religious belief during the break today. I was amazed that the boys and girls, at this young age, had developed an interest and opinion on this topic. Good for them to have had a peaceful discussion on it ! XXX told me that almost the whole class said that he should believe in God. He came home fine, for which I felt happy for him.

Although I am pretty open to the belief that he may or may not have when he’s grown up, I hope he will be able to find it out through his own explorations, under no pressure. And I hope he will not lose, due to difference in belief, friendship of or respect from his classmates that he cherishes so much.

Is there a way that you could have an open discussion about this in class, and help the children understand it’s good for people to be open-minded, and accept that others can have different beliefs?

I would be curious about the discussion you may have. And thank you in advance for helping XXX have peace in his mind. Please let me know if I can be of any help.

Sincerely,
