That seems like an odd question to ask. Teach something you're familiar with, that the students are likely to find interesting.

That would be included anyway, sort of like me teaching chemistry and you saying the periodic table of elements, it comes with the science no matter what.

Young Earth creation with a touch of ancient aliens in the mix.

Nah. Teach what you've shown us here. You're posts are informative and impressive.

Not in Louisiana.

Quote:n 2008, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal signed the “Louisiana Science Education Act” into law. This Orwellian-named bit of legislation was an outrageous attempt to allow creationism to be taught in schools. Jindal has essentially admitted as much.

I live in new jersey and creationist aren't common where I live, which is good, and Louisiana's actions are the reason I am leaving america to do research in another country(either Australia or japan still have yet to decide). If america doesn't want science I will take it else where(not counting where I live they want to learn something).

It's a sad thing to know scientific people are leaving the States because of creationism, but I wouldn't ask you to martyr yourself by staying here for the small chance of this country turning back to being one of the best in the world scientifically.

New Jersey eh? You can start by teaching them that Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi weren't founding fathers and that Snooki didn't invent MTV.

Kidding aside, these kids are bored to tears most every day. I don't care what you teach; just make sure they remember what is taught.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
