Hi, TABB.

This is a message sent to all who find their way to these forums.

We like people, and we like facts too!

We're friendly but we're skeptical, and if somebody calls for proof, it's not an accusation. Only the strong ideas thrive here: we try to respect people. (We do not tolerate personal abuse.)

You may already have visited these other handy places:
* New Member Information
* Welcome from AFA president
* For those interested in learning, I recommend the Atheism Resource Thread maintained by Fearless.
* And a quick look at our reserved spot for belief-based discussion, Fantasy Island, includes The Great Big List, a sort-of "things we've seen before" for those of faith, and general rules of argument for the forum.

If you've got questions, please ask. Moderators have red name tags, but many of our friendly people may have the answers you need.

Enjoy the forums. We hope to see plenty from you in discussions.

Have fun.

Goin' ta teach science? Cool! There are some sciency and teacher types here.

Welcome TABB.

Most of my high school science teachers were religious. Took me years to disentangle the idea that the two weren't connected. I even recall our chemistry teacher showing us an over the top goddist video on the universe, with the backing track of "Sky Pilot". Goodness knows where he sourced it.

How lucky your students are to have you teaching it!

Hello TABB, welcome to the forums.

[TABB]

Thank you for the warm welcome.

Preventing religious ideas disguised as legitimate science from invading the science classroom, which should remain secular, is my priority and the single biggest motivator for me to become a science teacher.

[Logic please]

Hi Tabb, welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy the discussions.

Hiya

good luck with that, I did half a postgrad but couldn't get past the politics of the lecturer's deciding to assign potential teachers to trouble schools, nor what I saw as insanity of outcome based learning.

I hope you find a school worthy of you
