get real

Quote From: sassie431

I think neither should be taught in school. It should be taught at home.
I am a teacher, and let me tell you that the only thing being taught in some of my student's homes is where to score their next hit or how the government is out to get you.  I believe they should both be taught as theories since neither can be proven nor disproven.  It can be prefaced with, "You don't have to agree with this theory.  It is was some experts believe."  It would be the same as if you were teaching what came first, the chicken or the egg.  In order to be intelligent members of society, kids need to understand that there are different opinions out there about a multitude of things, and you can not truely know what you believe until you understand all sides.  In schools, we are not trying to tell the kids what to think, but trying to teach them how to think.  Too many of them are not getting that at home.
