I wonder if anyone here knows what the contemporary UK science curriculum is like?
​
I became quite concerned about a year ago when I had my English students analyse adverts in groups. I gave one group an ad with a picture of a monkey and a washing machine, and it was claiming that the washing machine had "evolved" into a better model. The group didn't get it, and we're talking 16-year-olds here. "Evolution? Oh yeah, I think I've heard that word somewhere before . . ."

I can't remember studying evolution in my American high school either. This really needs to change because it's how ignorance is perpetuated, which makes it easier for creationists to get people to believe their nonsense. So much for it being rammed down children's throats in school as they usually claim, eh?
