Because it's not contempory science they are being taught. There is much Intelligent Design contemporary science but that is never taught hence they are being brainwashed to be biased to evolution propaganda. What they are being taught now already is the fairy tales.
Re: Critisize the Education System (in your country)
Not enough beer & smoke breaks. Too much homework, school day starts too early, runs too late. Holiday time too short, lousy pay, curriculum too boring, oppressive discipline, too much structure not enough creativity and entertainment. We can't wait till our miserable school days are behind us, and we are free from the clutches of the thought police....how does one explain that it actually gets worse...~;)
Re: Critisize the Education System (in your country)
Well, as far as the math classes go, a step in the right direction has been taken in my country. but only within a limited area. In high school everyone now have to take math for 2 years, compared to how it was before with 1 obligatory year and then the choice to continue for 2 more years. Also now there are to types of math you can take: Theoretical math (for those who are good at it) and Practical math (for those who are crap), thos who take theoretical math can also choose to take more lessons in 2nd grade and can also have math in 3rd grade. This seems to work so far. But a lot of the other education is... more crap. English classes just end up in everyone speaking Norwegian, many think social science is redundant, many skip foreign language classes (understandable, because there are some who are there because they want to and would like to learn a bit of the language and some who are there only because they have to), natural sciences is ridiculously hard at times and many teachers have problems explaining what it is we are doing, Gymnastics is usually just chaotic and it seems the requirements for getting a high grade is lower for girls than for boys, a lot lower mind you. Anyway a lot of this is just discipline issues, and its not that bad, at least not for me... I seem to have a good ability for learning. But I think one of the things the schools should not have attempted to have done was to go digital. It worked fine with just handing in your paper, either printed out from your computer or handwritten. But now we have to save it in a special database in the school's "stable" network, and it is expected that we regularily check the internet for homework assignments and schedules. Actually on paper many this idea of "digitale folders" (as they call it) sounds good, but I have witnessed that it ends up in chaos.

"intelligent Design" is a joke. 'Nuff said. And it doesn't exclude evolution at all.
