I have to teach my kids that science is amazing because it never ends, there's always discussion and research going on and what might be known to be true one day can be changed with a discovery the next. I learned this in school, but it seems they are being taught to accept what they are being told and not question. I say this having been to the school twice because my oldest was being disrespectful,  as in she corrected her science teacher who then had her written up and I had to go talk with 2 separate teachers. They admitted they were wrong but would not in class because "that diminishes their authority and it's not a students place to correct the teacher."
