– Regarding religion classes […] I think the solution of combining classes is absurd. And I believe we should withdraw from it. […] How can you combine fourth-graders with eighth-graders, or even sixth-graders with seventh-graders, when their development, their perception, works completely differently – he continued.

Yes, in my opinion, religion or ethics should be compulsory and included in the average. Why?
