Re: on topic- education/Creationism
You keep going back and rewriting the Bible (not that that hasn't been done on several ocassions before) when IMHO it just isn't needed.
To really allow for both in the classroom all that is needed is to spend the time to fully teach evolution. Then, once the students have a good grasp of what happened, say, the day before matriculation, the teacher could add, "Or maybe not".

Re: Why school?
The purpose of schools are to share expensive resources and to teach how to learn.
If there is to be time spent on the Christian Creation Story, it should be simply as that. story time. Not Science because it is not Science. Not Theory because it is not Theory, but a story.
And it should be covered right along with Small Bearded Man, The Council of Birds, the Rg Vedic and all the other equally valid Creation Myths.

This might seem silly, but I think the best answer is that the majority of time should be devoted to those religions other than the locally dominate one. For example, in a Christian area it might be that the majority of time was spent on all the others and only a small portion on Christianity.
But religion should also be incorporated into almost every subject. Math for example is incomplete unless you understand the Islamic revolution in mathmaetics. In addition, any study of science would be incomplete without and understanding of the part that Islam played in maintaining science during the Dark Ages and then the rennaisance that swept up from the Caliphs of Spain into northern Europe.
Even a cusory glance at history will show that so much of it was driven by religious beliefs and so a study of religion must be part of every history class.
