...public and private schools, and whether that specific ritual of religious indoctrination, otherwise know as prayer as lead by the child's instructor, should be allowed.

As stated in the OP, pretty much anyone may pray in a public school at any time, unless by doing so they are disruptive to others, which is pretty standard for any "thought" activity, no matter how ridiculous, repugnant or irrelevant. Heck I spent many an hour day dreaming in public schools, which is not functionally different than a silent, to-your-self {and in keeping with Matt 6: 6-7 for the "Christians" amongst us} prayer.
