we had to say the pledge everyday in middle school and in high school they kind of said it over the PA a few times
the texas pledge was never said in any of my schools (i lived in houston for most of my k-12) and evolution was taught to us in 6th grade...none of my teachers touched on creationism (i actually learned that through sunday school) -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good. They wake up the next day and they're on fire."

We said the U.S. pledge everyday from K-12. We never said the Texas pledge though.
And I remember evolution being taught to us since at least 4th grade. The only time creationism was mentioned was by my world history teacher/coach who said he didn't believe in evolution. This was fine by me due to the fact I was agnostic since around 7th or 8th grade. -------------------- QUOTE (Dogmeat @ Aug 1 2009, 06:17 PM) REAL MEN DO NOT NEED INSTRUCTIONS YOU WERE BEING PUNISHED BY GOD FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT READING THE INSTRUCTIONS HAD YOU JUST THROWN THEM AWAY LIKE YOU SHOULD HAVE GOD WOULD NOT HAVE KILLED YOUR TV :) |

In Lockney we said the Texas and US pledge everyday and were given detention if we didn't say it properly.
Oh, and we covered Evolution in Sophomore Biology and AP Biology. Creationism WAS covered but was only said to be another, less valid theory. And this was coming from a very, very, very strong Christian teacher. --------------------  |

we were taught both, partly at a catholic school.

to those who said creationism was covered, I'm curious, what kind of approach did they take to teach it?

yeah that's the way I figured it'd be presented. honestly I'd rather it just not be taught at all in school. with that said, I also don't think it's school's place to try to denounce it either.

Denounce? Definitely not. Offer as a valid theory? Nope, not that one either. If it's brought up (by a student) talk about it, if not, mention it not. -------------------- |
