Could you address my No. 35?

I have no problem with it… but I’m not sure it addresses the heart of the matter.

Helping a student get better grades by assigning follow up homework is all well and good, but again, the issue that a student coming from a creationist household will confront is that the modern world, where science is a hallmark of “modernism”, rejects the beliefs of her creationist parents.

Said student needs to know why. The also need to learn that the scientific method leads to the rejection of erroneous ideas, such as literal creationism.

Now, whatever method works… that probably is best determined on a student-by-student basis. Everyone learns differently, and each student ideally would have a approach geared best for them.
