Please click & see the 2nd link... [anyway the stuff in there is nice and clear and comprehensive... but sad that I only discovered it after the chem test...] I totally agree... teachers try to teach simplified version of concepts which happen to be a little wrong, then when you get to higher level, they un-teach u and re-teach again.... remember the 'lock-&-key'...haha... But then again, no one thought we'd understand if they start with the supposedly more abstract idea...

Though I think, kids approach all knowledge on equal grounds, so it's not really true to say that certain knowledge is less 'suitable' to teach to them just because the knowledge seem more difficult to you who already learned the old-but-now-proven-wrong knowledge. This sentence is not clear... but I can't really find a way to phrase it properly...

Then again, maybe say 10 yrs down the road, someone will come out with another new concept or something...maybe the universe is not made up of particles but vibrations or something that totally overturn the whole basis of science... just look at the string theory that's kinda getting more popular now...it's not all impossible someone will come out with another freaky idea... So, no way to absolutely avoid un-learning things, isn't it..?

Looking back, the way we are taught is like a progression through a super-condensed version of the history of science. We start with the really old classical theories, and go onto the newer ones that sometimes prove the old ones wrong [thus the un-learning...]. It's the way science is taught everywhere, seem to be so. Sometimes I wonder if science is taught as a progression through chapters of the most recent, modern, abstract, weird concepts, would it be faster..? Heard that NUS High is trying to do that to their students...we can wait & watch then~ lol.

So... good luck for bio test, everyone~

ps: don't try, I'm absolutely nice so there's no whatsoever cryptic message in here... anyway it's a awfully long piece of random crap if you want to check word by word...

pps: HEY I want that cartoon book~~ when u return it please tell me so I can go along to borrow it~

ppps: should we all try to post some really serious insightful content-ful posts to elevate our chance in winning that competition...? ~~~moneymoneymoney~~~~
