My science teacher is kinda stupid.

[Vykrel]

if their is an argument against it in a paragraph she focuses on it for the whole lesson

as far as i know, there is no logical argument against evolution... certainly no evidence.

 

[Vykrel]

double post, for some reason.

 

[Thistlehart]

I'd complain to the principal.

See this here? This is good advice considering. If you are afraid you are not receiving proper instruction in science class, the principal is the person to see. Though I recommend that you ask the principal to keep your input anonymous, or you might end up with retaliation from the teacher.

This... creature... has no business teaching science. I agree with Tsells, she'd be better off teaching a different subject.

Also, if your parents aren't bent in the teacher's direction, tell them about your concerns and see if they can't also complain to the principal. If they are bent in the same way the teacher is, then you may be on your own. At this point it may be best to study what you can on your own, and then blow her away on the tests.

If you're challenged on the science vs. religion front, you can say that if you wanted to learn about religion you'd go to church. You're in science class to learn science and theory, not religious doggerel, er, dogma.

Hang the heretic! Burn her at the steak! We can't have people with opinions and beliefs!(Okay, so she probably shouldn't be a science teacher, but still...)

She shouldn't be a science teacher and you definitely shouldn't be an English teacher.

 

[Scars Unseen]

leave her to her beliefs, unless she's actively teaching this to her students or is professing all her beliefs as the facts, she is in no way being a harm to anyone.

In complete agreement. Many people don't understand that personal beliefs are generally harmless. They can only be harmful if A. that person uses them to negative effects; or B. other people make a big deal about it.
As long as she keeps this to herself and outside the classroom (like teachers should), she's fine.

You. meet-

She is teaching evolution at the moments and skips the evidence but if their is an argument against it in a paragraph she focuses on it for the whole lesson

If Trollax isn't just trolling. big if

Then he has every right to be worried. To be a teacher of science you should not be voicing your opinions that have been dis-proven by science.

If you want to invalidate science that is currently held to be truth, such as evolution, then you should be working on that yourself. Not teaching your, as of now, unsubstantiated theories to students who need to know what is currently accepted as truth to pass tests.

The crazy thing is that evolution HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN. Its still only a theory because to prove it would mean to either find definitive proof that humans evolved from apes or to be able to observe an ape evolve into man. Neither of which we have found. Yes we have found things that substantiate the claim of evolution but there is still no 100% proof that what we found are actually ancestors of humans or a completely different species that has died out.

*edit* Oh yeah Creationism is more widely believed than evolution in the United States.

Oh tell me you're joking. I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Take great solace in knowing that I truly mean it when I say "lol, Americans"

I assume you're american because only in the "great" U.S. or A and of course few third world countries will someone like that be classified as a Science teacher and not batship retarded.

Yeah, one isolated incident definitely holds true for an entire massive country and millions of people. Nice job there, you really should us Americans, huh.

 

[trollax]

Hmm Well I'm leaving the school in under a month so I won't need to get her fired I'll just read up on It on the internet.All we need to know are the 4 points of nature selection the vocabulary and who Darwin was that's all I need to know to pass

 

[Rodrigo Girao]

I mean, Einstein was a christian.

Wherever you are getting your information, stop getting your information there.

And someones personal beliefs instantly make them a bad teacher. I mean, I believe that Capitalism is the root of all the worlds ills, can I still teach Sociology from an unbaised perspective? Yes. Seriously, as long as her beliefs do not influence her lessons, it does not matter what she believes, AT ALL.

Not all RE teachers are non-religious (Even if they were non-religious that would be an issue, would it not?). Personal beliefs do not make a teacher good or bad, they do not make a person "Retarded" simply because they have a different version of events from you.

Sure, We might know they are wrong. But just because they believe something does not mean they are instantly an idiot.

I mean, Einstein was a christian. I know not all christians are creationists but... Well, pointing that out usually helps in these debates which, essentially, comes down to "She has faith and we think that faith is bullshit ergo she is a retard who should not be teaching"

This isn't a thread about whether she should hold true to her beliefs, this is a thread about if this woman should force her non-scientific views down the throats of the students in her SCIENCE CLASS

Also Einstein was Jewish

 

[LeQuack_Is_Back]

Engage said teacher in scientific combat (i.e.- argue that's she's wrong as all hell... with SCIENCE!).

 

[Noyourjoanzy]

Well, on the topic of education lets not forget the hole of California, can afford education because they made it law not to raise property tax.
The good news is the tax is low. which is great because no one can get a descent job to pay it anyways.
Yeah, that is the worst case(I hope) but if Washington DC can have a murder rate of 700/year per million people compared to say 37/year per 1 million as the all time high for Canada(which I guess is the easiest country for comparison being that they are right next to each other).

So you are right one incident is not grounds to prove it, I just thought it was too long to start listing the last 10 years.
Sorry
and your welcome

So I was wrong about Einstein, apparently. I really need to check up on that history book, find out where that source comes from. Hmmm. Or I got my wires crossed, I mean, it is 3am. *sigh*

Regardless, at no point does the OP state that she pushed her views DURING THE LESSON. He simply stated that she HELD THOSE VIEWS and (Obviously) informed the pupils of her views (Not a very professional thing to do but whatever). As the OP has not stated if she has been TEACHING her views, one can assume that she is not (As it would risk her job to not follow the curriculum) and that as an only entity you are judging some poor woman based upon nothing other than her faith.

hell, she might be a wonderful science teacher. We simply do not have enough evidence to condemn her as a retard, bad teacher or anything similar. She simply holds these views. She does not necessarily teach them.

10th post down he says "She is teaching evolution at the moments and skips the evidence but if their is an argument against it in a paragraph she focuses on it for the whole lesson"

Edit: 18th post down he says "I live in backwards Kansas by the way she keeps saying the book(science is wrong) and the other book is right(bible)."

that is exactly right what I meant.She always during we are blessed fore being primates/having hands/ect. She is very religious

 

[TheDooD]

She has the belief that the Earth is 6000 years old,humans lived along side dinosaurs, and evolution is a big religious scam so I need help of what to do.

She needs to stop smoking weed and watching the Flintstones, because a person in her position should know fucking better. The reason why I say this EVOLUTION and RELIGION are two different arguments. Hell both of them counter each other, it's basically like she tried to combine both concepts to sound "smart" yet her concept is more of a clusterfuck then believing we all came from Adam and Eve.

 

[brainslurper]

Seriously people. Grow up. Let a person believe what they want to believe. If she thinks the Earth is 6,000 years old, let her. If she thinks evolution is wrong, let her. As long as these beliefs do not hurt anyone or cause problems, they are harmless. Believing in God is not a mental illness. Please stop acting like it is.

That being said.
IF she is not teaching science theory in a science class, that is a problem. As a science teacher, she has a duty to teach scientific theory. She can state that people are allowed to believe as they wish on the subject, but they need to know the theory all the same. If she isn't teaching the theory properly, the OP needs to tell someone of authority. The principle or the school board would be a good start.

But as long as this belief is just a personnel feeling there's nothing wrong with it.

Things tend to cease to be "theories" when there is pretty much no conflicting evidence, and the overwhelming majority of the educated community agrees with them. Just because there are other contradicting ideas does not make it a theory. For example, I can say the sky is currently blue, just because another person says that no, the sky is purple, doesn't make what I said a theory.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

Is this college or high school? I don't think you can do much if it's in college.

Actually, it's my experience that student feedback can sink a professor's career. Of course, I go to a weird school.
