why do schools not teach evolution

[Villi1997 1,832]

i mean, isn't school for learning

[Ruran 481]

I remember my science teacher covering it in high school. There was an unbelievable amount of but hurt... :I

[TwiliLord 232]

I remember learning about it in my biology course freshman year in high school. Maybe it's just your country/school/teacher?

[Weiss 8,279]

uh oh

[Silent 824]

i learned it in bio too.

We learned it in biology at my school. I forget most of it though. Oh wait, I remember we watched this documentary but that's all I remember. And that was just the end of last school year, I normally remember stuff... I'm thinking I was bored.

That was my school. During the duration religious students would ask the teacher everyday things like if they could bring their priest in to talk to him and the class and about his religion. Wasn't entertaining.

School doesn't teach everything.

That must have been hell. (pun intended)

Fool. You can learn about evolution on your own time. School doesn't have to teach it. There is a lot of things that school doesn't teach. Like how to do taxes. Or how to seduce a women. These two are very important, but alas, school doesn't teach it.

We went over it briefly in history because we went over hominids. But now a lot of his teachings involve talking about Christianity and I hate it so much.

[AROD666 175]

I remember learning what evolution was in grade school.

[hatok 6,413]

Did anyone actually learn anything in school that didn't involve math?

Because I didn't

[Hei 3,233]

I learned it from Pokemon, and also 5 or 6th grade.

[Kishira 2,854]

I was taught it in like...3rd grade. And then several other times through elementary and high school, so Idk what you're talking about. o-o

 

But then again, it wasn't until I graduated high school that they suddenly decided not to have Pluto as a planet....bastards....they LIED TO ME. QдQ

[rainbowdash64 194]

It is sometimes taught in Bio, but a lot of the times they take it out because of all the religious fights. And not too many people believe in it anymore either, it kinda... died away.

 

I don't personally believe evolution, but I really don't give a crap if it's taught. But the number one, best place to learn about it, is, and will always be: Pokemon.

[Space Cowboy 1,392]

I went to a Catholic high school and we still learned about it.

[TraverseLight 133]

Because we use to think a Pikachu was the first form, then evolving into a Raichu, but then more research revealed that Pikachu itself is actually an evolution of Pichu. Things are constantly changing, and therefore what you learn one year may be incorrect the next

[Arietomas 15]

I learnt it in 2nd grade and in science in 8th.

[Geralt 4,874]

I learned evolution in school
