Naso, obviously you didn’t go to the link. So I will have to spoon-feed it to you.

Had you gone, you would have seen all the curriculum for classes taught in the state of Louisana. They are broken out into areas like history, economics, mathematics, science, etc.

Now, had you gone to the section on science, you would have seen a sub-section titled “Biology”. That links to a zip file of documents that layout the methodology for teaching Biologh. One of those had to do with high school. It has 79 pages. From that 79 page document, I excerpted the 8 questions.

I guess you’ve never taught anybody. When I teach a class on computer simulation, for example, I always outline the key questions the students should be able to answer. What is the difference between discrete event sim and continuous sim? How does Little’s Law help us check that our models are correct?

The questions here are what the state of Louisiana expects a kid to learn in his biology class. Plus 79 other pages. The point is that nowhere in those 79 pages is one iota of a mention of creationism, or ID, or anything like religion. The point is that Louisiana DOES EXPECT their kids to learn evolution.

Coaching kids on learning critical thinking skills are also in those 79 pages. I just didn’t want to quote all that material.

I’m sorry Naso, but I can’t help but think you’re way way off base here with that attitude. I’ve provided a ton of materials for you, even the website showing what the teachers actually teach.
