Hello, I found this article to very intriguing since we have been talking about evolution vs. creationism in class. It basically talks about how high school science teachers are failing to teach the theory of evolution effectively. More specifically only 28%, out of 900 US teachers, correctly taught the subject. Even more surprising was the fact that 13% of the teachers polled actually taught creationism in class. The majority of teachers taught both and allowed the students to decide. These findings show that many teachers are not teaching the required curriculum and defying laws and court orders. I believe if this trend continues, our national scientific standards will diminish and in return create more pressure for the US to catch up to foreign countries that are making great progress.
I just remember that I forgot to add the link, sorry. Here is the link
