Re: Science Teaching. What's wrong with it?
"The trouble is, we're not conditioned to discuss science at school.
It's an authoritarian model with this over-riding preoccupation with getting the right answers."
Bingo
I think it starts with teachers never being accountable to anyone. Our model does not favor truth. As turtle said in another thread, if you are right about something and the teacher is wrong, the system makes it difficult (not impossible, but beyond what most people will do) to do anything about it.
The result is that the truth is deferred to social structure. If the social structure is uncertain, people simply withhold judgment.
