What is a good reason to not to teach science to children? 

[maggiebee]

Maybe because they need to concentrate on their English first.

[Arksided]

I can't think of one... even as a an adult always learning.. ok I did travel down the path of Biology and Physics... and one does hope that children do have an enquiring mind, most I know do.

[Arksided]

Steaknife... you don't work for the government in academic mathamatics do you... just saying...

[sandyRoe]

If you were an American from the Bible Belt you might think teaching science could undermine the faith of impressionable young students.

[Arksided]

One did border on the side of precaution Sandy... with a username Steaknife... but at the the same time not discourage them from teaching basic science.

*want to

[Old_Geezer]

It'd be a good reason not to teach science if you knew little about it, or proved unable to pass scientific knowledge on in a way students easily understood.

 

Another good reason is getting fed up of doing that and wanting a change.

[ToraToraTora]

there is no good reason.

[davebro3]

it's pretty pointless - they will forget most of it over the next 40 or 50 years if they aren't engaged in some scientific endeavour.

[Khandro]

It depends what you mean by science, it's a very broad subject. Boiling an egg is science.

[PsalmEquipt]

To be eligible to be on the panel of judges at the science fair, the judges must maintain impartiality.

If the only available science teachers are hippies??
