My son Logan could write a blog about the crazy stuff he hears at school. I am not talking about the silly "stuff" kids say, but the crazy "stuff" teachers say. I am so glad he knows the Truth and can filter out the crazy.
His science teacher explained to the class his interpretation of evolution. Old Darwin himself would turn over in his grave. Basically, 70 thousand years ago there were many monkeys. All differect species of monkeys. A certain species of monkey that were very clever, not wise, but clever, figured out which plants gave off the necessary oxygen they needed to evolve. With this clever knowledge they put these plants around them and were then able to evolve into humans. The monkeys we see now are not clever monkeys but dumb monkeys and haven't figured out how to evolve.
Wow, we are some smart monkeys. Unfortunately, most of the students in Logan's class are non-believers and so this information is believed and probably someday repeated.
I believe this poor science teacher can't seem to explain the big holes in Darwin's Theory, so he must make up the story of clever monkeys to put his mind at ease. And I suppose by teaching others this nonsense he can somehow make it true.
This is only one story of many that my son must listen to and filter during his many hours at public school. We feel he is truly learning life skills and with guidance and support from home he can stand firm for the Truth. Because someday soon he will be on his own and he will need to stand firm on a foundation based on Truth in a world full of clever monkeys.
Just another teaching moment in the Raitt household:)
