Re: teachers
Hi Jon
I almost wonder, though, how many biology teachers there are out there that desperately want to teach anti-evolution nonsense ...
In my experience, high school and lower grades teachers are educated with a general education, and then are assigned to teach various classes based as much on seniority as on knowledge. You can have biology taught by the same teacher that does phys ed or home economics.
When we lived in Mississippi our son had an english teacher that said ain't regular like.
And I don't think many teachers are well equipped to teach science.
Enjoy.

Hi Taz and frako,
I completely agree. The tests should be high school level. It should contain the most basic things that everyone ought to know. I just want some incentive for people to get off their asses and at least read the news for once in their lives.
What about tests for the politicians to pass before they can be a candidate?
Publish the results for the candidates that pass, with the correct answers.
The test should include constitutional law and general knowledge as well as questions on how science works, and questions specific to their chosen position they are running for.
Enjoy.
