The school and teachers would in no way push for other students to join...(only the students/parents would be able to make the choice on their own) and the prayer time would only be offered during their recess or break period thereby not actually taking time away from actual education.
Surely any student can pray all day long if they want to, during classes, during exams, during recess, while they're having lunch etc. - who's ever going to know ? The question is about PUBLIC praying, or about BEING SEEN TO PRAY that is a different thing and begins to flirt with prosyletising. As a previous post has said, let the Christian Club/Union/Fellowship whatever it's called have the same access to time, resources, classroom premises, noticeboard space etc. as the Chess Club. No more and no less.
