In Canada we don't do either in public schools. Singing the national anthem is pretty much reserved just for Remembrance Day, maybe with a little bit of practice for a few days beforehand to avoid embarrassment at not knowing the lyrics. Certainly no prayers are ever said at school.
- braincellbattle 13y agoI'm Canadian and not that old (30's), and I was required to both sing the national anthem and recite The Lord's Prayer daily in grade school. Granted it might have been an exception as it was a small town.
- Solarsail 13y agoI'd be surprised if that was an exception; I'm only a decade younger (and Canadian) and only missed out on The Lord's Prayer. But sung the anthem every morning. And I'm not in a small town... If that's changed, it changed recently.
- Sniperfish 13y agoEducation in Canada varies heavily by province (and intra-province which education system you're in) which could explain some differences in your experiences.

- green7ea 13y agoI'm Canadian (26) and I was required to sing the national anthem every morning while attending school in Ontario (Toronto). This was not the case when I attended school in Quebec (Montreal). I think daily anthem singing is determined by the local school board.
