A primary reason why school teachers do not discuss criticisms of Evolution is because people tend to find the criticisms quite convincing. When the pros and cons are both discussed, Evolution loses. Now, you can say that's because people are fools and do not understand the wonders of science, but when scientists lay out their theory and cannot explain the theory in a convincing way, it says something about the theory. That's why scientismists (people who hold to scientism philosophically and ideologically), as opposed to scientists (people who practice the methodology known as "science"), don't want anyone explaining the pros and cons. That's why people like Coyoteman and Soliton are so afraid of anybody presenting evidences against evolution - even though falsifiability is ostensibly an integral part to scientific methodology.

That's why people like Coyoteman and Soliton are so afraid of anybody presenting evidences against evolution - even though falsifiability is ostensibly an integral part to scientific methodology. Nonsense. The many claims of creationists regarding the theory of evolution have been presented and debunked to often they have been numbered!
Check out the Index to Creationist Claims and you'll see how well the creationists' "evidences against evolution" have fared.
