This is a bit off-topic, but I would just like to thank you all for helping me with my "Persuasive Essay" for my 10th grade english class. I have used this forum as one of my references and given you all the credit you deserve. (strict "no plagiarism" policy)
I have chosen the topic of what should be taught in schools, Creation or Evolution, which I have come to believe should be a bit of both. Although, there was plenty of information that my mind was not able to grasp, and I ended up reading certain posts more than once, I have been able to gain a better understanding of what the main battles have become.
My own input to this thread.
Using my own 10th grade biology class as an example, many teachers do not have the ability to grasp the attention of the wandering minds of their students. So trying to have all of the students apply critical thinking
by themselves inside the classroom is near impossible. Passing classes have become a group effort, from wandering eyes to wandering answers. Although this does sound like a general question of whether the teacher is qualified to do a good job. This is only an assumption, yet from my eyes it seems that high school students are trying less to learn and more to pass.
As I am just getting further from the actual subject I will just end here. Thank you all again for your thoughts if you have any questions for me please send me an e-mail.
