But seriously Don, pedagogy is not primary,

I entertain serious doubts that pedagogy is not primary in education.

it serves a goal; here that goal is teaching about science. Science is much more than a set of published results, it is a process, a history, a community etc. Learning about the governing paradigms is central, it isn't all that should be taught.

That's history and social studies. If you are going to teach business practices, business practices are what you should teach, not history of accounting and Roman maritime banking law.

Science at the higher levels is taught as edsheppa explains.

It's not, teaching is.

I guess Don we'll just have to disagree. My opinion is that children will learn more about science if they're taught more than just currently accepted results because science is much more than that.
