Me and my sister were chatting about this the other day. What was the point of singing assemblies?
I think most people on this subreddit have experienced atleast a few singing assemblies in primary school. It's a universal thing.
Every Monday morning from recception all the way to year six, we all gathered in the assembly hall and sang songs.
The thing that gets me is that we used to sing Christian praise songs, which I guess would be normal if I went to a religious school, but I didn't.
When I look back, why didn't we question this?
Why did we willingly agree to sing endless songs at 9am on a Monday morning?
What were these assemblies for exactly?
Did anyone else not go to a faith school, yet still sang Christian praise songs like… all the time?
