evolution...
another article...this one about evolution and how it's not being taught in classrooms in the u.s., eventhough it hasn't been banned...it seems teachers find it easier to avoid the whole evolution/creationism discussion all together...which maybe is a good idea...lets not worry about if our children are prepared for university and have an understanding of the most widely accepted and most important theory of biology, but by all means, let's avoid an "unpleasant" debate...it always disgusts me when they insist on teaching creationism alongside evolution...first and foremost, creationism is NOT a science...it has no place in a science class...that's what religion classes are for...sorry...it's the biologist in me rearing her ugly head...she's pissed of that i've kept her burried since graduation...all in good time, my pretty...all in good time...

In the defense of not teaching evolution at the elementary level, if the teacher doesn't really understand the concepts, it can screw you up for later science education. My teacher in grade 7 didn't know much, and taught some wrong stuff about evolution, which was a bit confusing later on. But high school is a different story.
