>>12937851The quality of middle school education varies wildly depending on where you went to school, whether it was public or private, religious or nonreligious, etc.
When I was in college I got a job tutoring high school students at a religious school, we're talking kids 14-16, and they thought the Earth was 6-10 thousand years old. This wasn't pre-internet or pre-Google either, they could have gone online and looked it up, it just never occurred to them to question what they were taught.
Personally, I went to a public high school that taught intelligent design along with evolution.
