...do the two of you disagree with the notion that high school students and undergraduates should first master accepted rudiments of a topic?

What do you mean by "accepted rudiments?"

"Accepted" in the sense of assenting to a received doctrine? Or do you mean something else by that word; and if so, WHAT???

Thanks for writing atlaw -- please clarify.

At the level of high school science, it is all received doctrine. Jeepers, Betty, you have been reading these threads for years and haven't learned enough to know Darwin's thoughts on abiogenesis. How are you going to cram all that critical analysis into two weeks?

How about, to start anyway, just knowing what the theory says ... such a requirement would eliminate about 90% of the trolls on this thread from ever graduating.
