Science teachers against science
This may be misleading quotation by the Australian, but this seems like a remarkably dumb way to defend science:
Perth-based senior science teacher Marko Vojkovic said the foundations of science were not being properly laid in many secondary schools.
“Last time I checked, Newton’s theories of motion hadn’t changed, the periodic table hasn’t changed, the basic atomic theory hasn’t changed and I don’t think it’s going to either,” he said.
A “senior science teacher” whose knowledge of science appears to stop slightly short of the science that is taught in schools. His three unchanging truths were questioned by the very basic relativity, inorganic chemistry and quantum mechanics, respectively, that I learned at school.
