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 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.

I teach kindergarten and we talk a lot about creation. I have not been asked any questions about evolution but if I was I would reference the scriptures, and see what they had to say so my students could have a better understanding of the topic.

If I were to handle the discussion about evolution in my classroom, I would have an open debate with them and use scripture to guide the conversation.
