Just to be contrary about science education, aren't there two parts to it?
In maths, we mostly want kids to learn arithmetic and useful techniques - we don't in fact teach them much if anything about induction and proof. And in science, don't we really also want to impart a lot of handy basic facts? I'd say that evolution just squeaks in on that count, if only to make sure they understand why they have to finish all their antibiotics, but I reckon a curriculum that was really focused on applying empirical techniques to establish a body of provisionally provable "knowledge" wouldn't bear much resemblance to school science as we know it at all. Plus all those skeptical experimenting kids would drive every adult in the vicinity insane.
What [I think it was Stephen] described above is actually what the education system is doing right now (I assume I'm not going to get into trouble for this)
A few years back there was a brouhaha over a finding that students were not doing as well at basic mathematical facts as they had in previous years. The reason of course could be seen in the figures for analytical thinking: much higher. Of course that doesn't matter as much as a "Students can't do times-tables" headline

Say you write a sports blog, and every now and then someone complains that you talk about a popular sport too much.
Ummmm...?

I forgot to mention that the baseball season also started yesterday and the Mets are on a roll winning their first game...only 999 games* to go!

Ahem. Waikato - Bay of Plenty Magic.
Yeah I don't like writing the Waikato bit either :)
Also known as the netball competition where the Bay of Plenty Magic come to your town and fuck over your team.
Hadyn, your blog just suddenly got picked up on a lot more google searches for porn I'm guessing.
That and the Max Mosley orgy reference

Should everything head that way, could you have the BDO out the Ellerslie Racecourse? That'd be fairly sizeable.
