Knowing what you know now, and what your beliefs are now, if you could go back to high school science and the day they taught evolution, would you insist that creationism be taught as well? How would you bring it up? Or were both topics already discussed at the school you attended?

No. And actually, I remember my step-father calling up the administration of the homeschooling program we were using to reprimand them from excluding coverage of evolution in the curriculum (it was in the book, but the lesson plans skipped over it). It was a Catholic program, but the official stance of the Church is that teaching evolution is fine because it could well be a god-driven mechanism.

We didn't go over either. One of the students asked how long we were going to spend on the subject because she didn't believe in it. The teacher said she didn't believe in it either and skipped the section.

we also said the pledge of allegiance every morning and got swats delivered with vehemence. |

i first learned about evolution in 6th grade i think.
that's the earliest i remember at least. QUOTE (cupcake @ Oct 5 2007, 05:35 PM) we also said the pledge of allegiance every morning we said the pledge every morning as well. and now, all schools have to do the pledge AND the texas pledge every morning. --------------------  |

we said the US pledge everyday until midway through 2nd grade i think. then it was once a week.
when i moved to texas, the texas pledge was a once a week deal with the US pledge but come middle school we never said either it sounds like my schools in texas werent the norm? -------------------- Little monkeys making money
