Why don't they teach Logic in these schools?

So often Christians see themselves as creatures of emotion. They talk about belief in your heart, praising God from the heart, et cetera. And while the heart often refers to other things besides emotion when used in the Bible, it is clearly the intent of these Christians to speak of the emotions. But what does the Bible say about the heart, as referring to emotions? Jeremiah 17:9 says, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it?"
Too many people think that if they just follow their heart, everything will be okay. But the heart lies to us frequently. Emotions are unsteady, and while they have many applications (mostly in the areas of empathy and thoughtfulness) they should not be used to make judgments of fact.

The Difference between Science and Logic
When one thinks of Logic, what does he consider? Usually we think of a cold, unfeeling person like Tuvok from Star Trek: Voyager (most people would think of Spock, but as I will say later, Spock is a more accurate representation of logic) Tuvok rattled off facts like a computer, and would consider nothing unless it was proven by science. But science and logic are two different things. Science is observable, repeatable fact. If anything cannot be proven by experiment, it is not scientific. Yet it may be logical. Logic takes facts into account and derives a conclusion based on that fact. But not all facts are scientific. Origin theories (Creation or Evolution) cannot be proven by science. We cannot experiment on or repeat these. But Creation can be proven by logic, as seen in Lee Strobel's book, The Case for a Creator.
Emotions themselves play into logic. Many logical people are slightly absent-minded and not very perceptive of emotions. But this does not mean that logic excludes emotion. Emotion is a fact that must be part of any equation. When deciding what to have for dinner, it is important to take into account what you would like to eat.
But there is a difference between the fact of the emotion, and the conclusion of the emotion. For example, if my companion thinks a man cannot be trusted, I must consider in any decision the fact that my companion does not trust the man. It is a fact that my companion does not trust him. However, it is not a fact that he is not to be trusted. Thus logic can work with emotions if applied properly.
Spock was a good example of this. Though Star Trek: The Original Series was in many ways very poorly made, the character of Spock was portrayed better than any other Vulcan on any other series. Other Vulcans were harsh and judgmental, and very critical of emotions. Spock trusted in steady logic over variable emotions, but he accepted that his crewmates had emotions and took these into consideration, always acting cordially and using pleasantries of speech that he would not need around other Vulcans.

The Difference between Emotion and Attitude
If the heart is deceitful above all things, why does the Bible emphasize Love so strongly? Because love is not an emotion. It is an attitude. Attitudes are choices, while emotions are involuntary. Emotions vary constantly, while with discipline, Attitudes can be controlled. Love is an attitude, affection is an emotion. We can't choose whether we like someone, but we can choose whether we love them. Happiness is an emotion, dependant on circumstances. Joy is an attitude, dependent on whether we choose to be joyful.

The Mind and the Heart in 1 Corinthians 14
People often use 1 Corinthians 13 to talk about how important true love is. And this is a proper application. But the context shows new depth to the application. The preceding chapter discusses spiritual gifts, and chapter 13 is used to point out that some gifts we often think are superior (like tongues) are nothing compared to love. Chapter 14 explains why, and the answer might surprise you.
The chapter begins by saying that prophecy (giving God's message to man) is better than speaking in tongues. Prophecy benefits all who hear you, while speaking in tongues only improves your own experience, unless there is an interpreter. Verse 14 says "For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful." I could go on for paragraphs about what this chapter says about speaking in tongues, but let me get back to my main point. The chapter says that if you pray with your spirit only, you are the only one who benefits. But if you pray with your mind, those who pray with you benefit, and can "say the Amen," since he understands what you are saying and agrees. If we pray in a completely emotional manner, we are the only ones who gain anything from it. After all, emotions are variable, and two people rarely share the same emotion at the same time. So when you pray filled with some various emotion, the other people praying with you, who do not share this emotion, get nothing from the prayer. But if you pray with your mind, you all will be edified, for you are speaking in logical truths that are universal to everyone praying.

The conclusion? Church and especially prayer, is a time to stimulate your mind, not only to satisfy your emotion. Christian virtues are to be attitudes, not emotions. And logic is a universal concept that even the emotional can grasp if they make an effort. Christianity is a logical religion, and Christians should strive to have logical minds.
