Okay today a co-worker and I spent part of our shift correcting what the children where taught in class, based on their comments, questions and answers to our follow up questions we determined they are being taught a geocentric system for our solar system and had no idea the planet is a globe... they where very clear that they are being taught Earth is the center of the universe and everything rotates around it... understand we had limited tools but we did explain the shape of the planet, about orbits, how the Earth spins and why it appears the Sun rises and why it looks like the Sun goes around us but that is wrong and why, we explained why the day grows longer or shorter and much more... I am really getting tired of discovering this sort of absolutely wrong information is being taught. I have discovered more than one teacher teaching subjects they have no idea how to do... Pre-Algebra teacher that could not do any problem not in her teacher's guide, a science teacher that did not know the local mountains are old volcanoes and threatened to fail a child that did, elementary school teacher that could not teach math without using a calculator and more. I am tired of being told we are the uneducated people, when we are the ones teaching the children to write, do math and correct science facts.
