Have you had discussions about creation and evolution in your classroom? If so, how did those go? Is there anything you would do differently? If you have not had these discussions in your classroom, how do you think you would handle them?

I have only had discussions about creation in my classroom. My young students only know creation. We look to the Bible. God said it. I/we believe it. That settles it.
In the future, should evolution come up, I would say, “what does God say about this?” We would then use the Bible as our authority.

I haven’t really in-depth because I teach English and not science. We have casually discussed the subject and had great discussions on God as the creator and whether or not we could prove a divine hand in Evolution, young earth vs old earth creation.

I have not had a discussion about creation except to affirm it and assure the children that Greek myths are made up by man. Sometimes we contrast the two versions of the origins of the world. The Greeks created the gods in their image; God created mankind in His image. I may quote a verse about God and his having created “them, male and female” with my older students. I teach at a Christian school where the clientele is mostly of one accord.

I feel like this situation would need to be handled with grace and scripture. I also feel as though it would have to be grade level appropriate with the age of the students you are working with. I do feel like some schools have a certain stance on these subjects.

Since I teach foreign language, I never had the opportunity to talk about evolution. However, if I ever had the opportunity, I would refer to scripture.
