True. And we're lucky in that we can send our kids to a school that take Science, Humanities and Arts all very seriously (every teacher has an education degree and degree in their discipline...for middle and upper school usually advanced degrees).
From first grade they have an actual true science class where they do little simple experiments, have the kids collect the data themselves and make conclusions based on the data. So my teaching now that they are exposed on a daily basis is usually limited to "is that proven? How would you do it in science class to test that? Has it been tested and if not why do you think it hasn't been? etc.."
Well not quite on that level or direct but you get it.
