I understand what you are saying, but I don’t agree with it. I am merely asking the science teacher to point out that what they are learning at home isn’t science. It will never be science. If there is a religion taught at home that says that the earth is flat, gravity isn’t real, and entropy of the universe is reversed on a regular basis, then I would expect the science teacher to explain why they are wrong scientifically. If they want to ignore the scientific evidence and rely on faith anyway, that’s their business, but they may not claim that they are working within a scientific framework when they come to their conclusions.

I agree that this is not college, but I have found that the more you expect young people to act like adults the more they rise to your expectations. Parents, not as much.

what’s to discuss with regard to creationism?…in taxpayer funded public schools…schools are not churches…why you gotta be so windy?
