Christian school for 10 years here, whaddup whaddup

got a little too weird for those folks and made my parents put me in public school

feel that. went from home school to a tiny christian high school.

what is too weird?

nothing too interesting. just the usual high school nonconformist stuff like interrogating questionable beliefs taught in classes

Growing up, I never knew evolution and global warming were doubted by anyone. It was taught as fact.

Same, but opposite: buncha crackpot anti-religious zealots made up evolution and are currently enjoying their 15 minutes.

I went to a public school and there still were only like 2 people in my grade other than myself who bought into evolution. Most of the teachers also did not believe it was real.

i was taught evolution at my christian high school with the disclaimer that "evolution is only one perspective of what could have occurred."

I was homeschooled (non-religious) and turned out normal as well. Or I like to think so at least.

and yet here we all are on TLS

R U SAYING IM NOT NORMAL BC I AM

i will concede that there are much stranger ways to use the internet than obsessively checking UR dates and tracking someone's progress eating cans of corn

Def stranger but still on the wrong side of the bell curve imo....

I'm surprised by that, even at my public school it was largely omitted by every science teacher except 2, my 8th grade teacher and senior bio teacher.

catholic high school - definitely was taught that evolution was real/not really a matter up for debate. still taught within the framework of "there's room for divine intervention/intelligent design when you ask what comes before the big bang/before the start of evolution" but was treated as just as much of a fact as gravity.

Interesting. I think my school just sucked then... Lol

How was the evolution of humans treated?

in what sense? we learned about natural selection of genes/traits, dominant & recessive genes, DNA shit.

all I remember about that is the whole sharing a common ancestor with apes thing. I feel like we went over the different evolutionary stages of humans too?

popping in to say I also went to a catholic HS and was also taught that evolution is real, that earth is 5 billion years old, etc.

I'm never 100% on what qualifies as suburban.

I grew up in a city, but a pretty small one (5th largest in the sate) that was basically a suburb of #3 but turned into it's own city. My life was not urban by any means, but I also don't think my life was suburban either. People who grew up suburban, did you grow up in a development like an hour away from a skyscraper or just in a smaller town?

Also, are there other terms beside just urban and suburban?

Tampa/St Pete I'm assuming?

Also went to catholic high school and it was a mix of teachings. Religion teachers generally avoided the subject or tried to cast doubt on evolution. Science teachers adamantly taught evolution

Shoot, lots of homeschooled and religious schooled people in here

Lol, closest private school to me that went past 4th grade was an hour away.

I feel like my school was fairly progressive for how rural and conservative the area was. Evolution was definitely discussed and wasn't dismissed.

My public school was very conservative. Kinda made me feel like the only smart person in my science classes
