I never recall reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in my school district. My school system never mentioned it.

Did your school district recite the Pledge of Allegiance?

I remember doing it up through elementary school on a daily basis in the L.A. area. At that time, grade school went through sixth grade, which for me would have been 1986. I don't recall doing it in middle school or high school.

Did your school district recite the Pledge of Allegiance?
Where did you go to school?

I recited the POA as a student for 12 years and led the POA as a teacher for 37 years in the Miami-Dade school district. They still recite it every day in every school in the district.

When I was in elementary school we had the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer every morning.

Now the schools... and the country... are without a prayer.

We did the Pledge each day of classes and at the beginning of any special events.

Yes, every morning in elementary school and middle school. Highschool though was a different story. Im seeing it less and less though. Growing up you were taught to respect and love your country, now people don't do the pledge because it says god once or twice which is just stupid.

Seeing how it is required by State law in most States, you will find that most people have recited the Pledge of Allegiance in schools.

Being a child of the sixties we said the pledge every morning, when I got to JH this was no longer the case.

And YES it included "One Nation under GOD" in a public school.
