[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Earthquakes only occur on transform boundaries  (tell that to Sumatra and Japan);  the Richter scale has a ronge from 1-10;[/quote]

Holy sh*t. Even with a pretty out of date geology degree I can spot the transform boundary info as a pretty glaring error, and not at the margins either. (The Richter scale item, while wrong, doesn't bother me *quite* as much since it's at least semi accurate for expected terrestrial quakes.)

[b]As a fellow citizen, PLEASE follow up on this. Because it's not just your kid who needs a decent science education.  And we ALL need an educated populace[/b].[/quote]

Yes, please follow up on this.  It needs to be changed.  [/quote]

Change what? I'm telling you, it is already in the science curriculum. Maybe that one teacher isn't including it, or is using incorrect material, but we do teach the changes you are seeking. You can review the science POS.[/quote]

If that one teacher isn't including it, it needs to be changed.  If incorrect material is being used, it needs to be changed.  Unless OP follows up to find out why his DD is being taught earthquakes only occur on transform boundaries and the Richter scale only goes up to 10.  That needs to be changed.  Clear enough for you?[/quote]

Yes, it was. It is not, however, the curriculum that needs to be changed. As i said before, the curriculum is ok, it is not being presented correctly.[/quote]
