Home schooling for and against, (continuation of discussion in "Dating" thread.)

[Napalm]

Not in any school i have been to. In classes where we have discussions, there are always differing viewpoints and opinions. And teachers are not alwayst told what to teach, they are given a cirriculum and a goal, but everything else is up to their disgression, and teachers dont teach for the money.

hmm...I could be wrong. But I have heard that teachers have been fired for teaching the Theory of Creation instead of evolution.

While if you are homeschooled, you can learn the side of evolution, and the side of creation, two scientific view-points, and make a descision for yourself which one you believe...

I must disagree, teachers must try to teach things from as many perspectives as possible, we where tought for example about the evolution proces (darwin) but also about how the bible sais live on earth began. We also discussed the koran and other religions like budism. Who told youo that schools are only allowed to talk about the evolution proces (by darwin) and not what the bibles says?

If you have been to a public school and tell this from experience then i can assure you that you went to a school that sucked monkey balls. Schools encourgae to make your own conclusion (although they won't let say that 2+2=7 ).

lol, ok, I was saying what I read in some magazine somewhere. It mostly likely doesn't apply to all schools. But I still don't think teachers are allowed to teach creation at all.




(and btw, creation is not just based alll on the bible, it does have scientific evidence.)

where did you read/heared that? I'm 100% sure that this does not applies to europe and pretty sure too that it also doesn't applies to american schools.

Maybe not in (certain states of) the US, but in Europe...

+ Links, sources plz

Creation does not have any scientific evidence. But maybe that's a good topic for another thread.

Sporky is talking about in the US. I dont think that it would happen in the US, but I am not sure of any classes that would talk about the beginnning of the world. I know that in Bio i learned about Darwin, but Darwin's theories are all pretty much accepted in the world.

Shhh, that's why I asked for his sources .

[D.Sporky!]

You only learn there's no evidence in schools, so I don't blame you. You shoulda been here for the religion thread. it was fun. Evolution is actually the one with no real evidence, and the "evidence" it has is all flawed.


One of my favorite creationists sites is www.irc.org see for yourself.


And that's another thing I'm talking about, in school you're told "there is no evidence of creation" and "evolution should be accepted as a simple fact." That's wrong.
