Evolution is being "taught"
In my Biology class, we've finally gotten to the unit I've been looking forward to, and that so many of my fellow classmates moaned and groaned about. Evolution. Only to find that it can hardly be called a lesson. So far we've only watched outdated dinosaur documentaries that teach absolutely nothing of evolution or the processes involved. There is a grand total of six Biology classes left in this school year, and we must still go over some feasible material, review it all, and take a test. This is a barely disguised attempt to avoid teaching a very important concept that few who oppose it actually understand, and it denies students the chance to learn about a very fascinating scientific theory that is key to biology as a whole.

UPDATE!
ReplyDeleteWe are now not even pretending to learn about evolution. Unless there's some educational value to watching Avatar.
