Hi, xevo! How's it going?
Ask any high school student you meet how it is being taught today.
My daughter, out here in the wilds of Texas, took Honors Biology in high school about four years ago. Campbell's excellent text was used. The teacher "taught" evolution by saying, "These chapters are about evolution. You may read them if you want to, but they won't be on the test."
On the subject of tetrapods, read Jennifer Clack's
Gaining Ground. It will give you a headache from all the names of obscure bones, but it gives a very nice "warts and all" treatment of what was known about the transition from "fish" to tetrapod in the Devonian. (She and others have found more since, though....)
