Then please explain to me how this applies to a teacher in a school.

I don't think optional, teacher-led prayer, after school or during lunch or something like that is a Constitutional problem, personally.

optional is fine assuming the kids are able to make the decisions on their own or the parents make it for them if they are too young

its about teacher led pray in front of a classroom or other congregation where not every kid (or their parents depending on age) gets to pick if they attend or not.
teachers are free to practice religion (pray) silently if they wish before meals or whenever else they want.
Well, it applies to the schools (public ones) as an arm of the local government via the 14th amendment. Before the 14 amendment and incorporation, it didn't apply to the States, much less the schools.

Congratulations. you got the right answer, now for the tricky part.
How is a teacher, who is not empowered to make laws, violating either the 1st or the 14th amendments by praying in a classroom?
Children have a limited amount of time a day attending school.
During that time, they need to be learning and studying so they will be prepared for what the world offers them.
Teaching mysticism and the occult is a disgraceful waste of tax payers money.
Can it be put in terms more simple than that?

I would not so harshly agree. Kind of a waste of time for one thing. I imagine there is some gray area as to whether it can be considered unconstitutional. If a teacher lead a prayer at the start of every class I would think that would be unconstitutional in a public school. Kids choosing or parents allowing their kids to attend some non-class time prayer lead by a teacher, I'm not sure.
please explain this to me because it baffles my mind

I think we have bigger problems to worry about in our schools.
