Students do not do experiments to prove evolution. They are indoctrinated by a teacher or professor who simply 'tells' them that evolution is how it all happened. Its a tale spun in a classroom, similar to the fairy tales one was taught in kindergarten and first grade.

Well, most kinda do "experiments to prove evolution" - after all, that's what this copulation-thing that seems to be so popular among the young people is all about, isn't it?
Clearly, cameron222 never took microbiology. Or made hybrids in botany. Or visited the dog kennel. Or went down to the river gorge to dig up fossils.
Was my high school really that much better than normal?
I didn't get taught evolution in school until I was in seventh grade. I don't think that what students are taught in science classes in middle school is all that similar to stories read to children in kindergarten and first grade.
And no, I don't recall doing any experiments to show evolution in seventh grade. Which is odd, because I can easily think of several fairly easy ways this could be done. (Either the curriculum just didn't include any, my teacher just didn't have us do any, or we did such experiments but I just don't remember them.) You might have a point if you were saying that schools should make sure that students had a better understanding of biology by performing experiments that demonstrated some aspects of the theory of evolution. But your point seems to be that students are somehow blindly indoctrinated with evolution from a very young age. My seventh grade biology class was pretty light on evolution -- I remember being disappointed that we didn't spend that much time on it because I found the subject interesting and was excited to finally get to learn about it in school.
The teacher/professor also "tells" them English Grammar, that 2+2 equals 4, and that cows produce milk.
It's all tales spun i classrooms, right?
“Students do not do experiments to prove evolution.”
We used to go out and look for fossils when we were camping.
"They are indoctrinated by a teacher or professor who simply 'tells' them that evolution is how it all happened.”
No, that’s what i remember from Sunday School. In science, we got the theory AND the observations that told us stuff, this is HOW we know it.
I remember everyone around me getting really stupid trying to do the math for half-life, for example.
“Its a tale spun in a classroom,”
It’s.
“similar to the fairy tales one was taught in kindergarten and first grade.”
I don’t remember fairy tales in school until we did A Midsummer Night's Dream in 9th grade.
Oh, wait, there WAS that bit about George and the cherry tree, which turns out not only to be fake, but plagiarized. But other than that…
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
