"We teach them electrons move around the nucleus of the atom in nice neat little concentric circles. "
Actually, we learned a much more comprehensive model of the electron when I was in high school, and I graduated in 1963. It was still incorrect, but there were no orbiting electrons.
There may be some schools still teaching that nonsense, but I doubt that it's very many.
Orbiting electrons are what we learned in the 80s. Schooling took a giant leap backwards in the 70s, actually it probably started in the 60s with the invention of new math, pretty much all the dumb stuff that goes on in schools today evolves from that same mentality "it's not important that they get it right, it's important they understand it" with no explanation of how people that don't get it right could possibly understand it. Then things took another leap backwards in the 90s with outcome based education (forget understanding it, just make sure they feel good). The nation's educational system is devolving.
