Teach Like a Champion.

Robert Orme on education. Why GCSE RS Fails Pupils. Religion: In the doghouse. No understanding of theology was required to successfully answer any of these questions. Questions a-c require d absolutely. Through the back door. Religion is out in the garden, overgrown with weeds, residing in the doghouse. Religious people should not do drugs Do you agree?
