Statements like “Schools, as they exist in most Western countries today, do not teach science as such” are wonderfully tautological. Has the author done a study? Are there findings to be shared? What is the definition of “teaching science”? How long is the “now”? What is the “west”? A person understanding the scientific process might ask similar questions, find them not having clear answers and thus not make sweeping statements.
