Hanni came home with a food-chain drawing that went Sun -> Plant -> Small Dinosaur -> T Rex (so far so good) . . . -> Caveman.
I've decided not to say anything, since I'm so new, but . . . new afterschooling activity! Hanni and I are going to make a timeline of dinosaur, mammal, primate, and hominin evolution.
The activity was led by a volunteer parent. And given the amount of mis-information about science that is out there in the general public, I honestly would be expecting these kinds of inaccuracies to be popping up no matter where I send her to school.
I know I've said it before, but it just makes it so clear to me: I am really a homeschooler who does heavy outsourcing. And like any homeschooler, I have to teach my kid to be a critical consumer of what she hears from various sources. Including school.
