Speaking as someone who, in elementary school, was lectured by friends on the dangers of not accepting Jesus Christ as my personal savior, I can tell you--sending kids out to convert other kids? BAD IDEA. (Plus, you know--really doesn't work.)

I mean, I was thirteen years old, what the hell business do I have advising anyone on their salvation, and what the hell business did my teachers have suggesting I save my best friend from her own heritage and faith?

Exactly.
