Teach the Controversy

[popeyespappy]

ID should be discussed in biology class. However instead of discussing ID as an alternative to evolution, it should be attacked. That’s what Project 2061, a long-term science education reform initiative of the American Association for the Advancement of Science says. Many students come to class already believing ID is the answer. We need to let them know that is wrong. We need to be addressing common misconceptions many students may have already formed when teaching science.

"Students create strange conceptions about the world from their experiences," Anu Malipatil, a school administrator for a network of charger schools in New York and Connecticut, said in a press release. "It becomes more difficult to teach students without actually addressing the misconception first."
