I find that many schools don't take their science curriculum seriously enough, and in many cases they have sub-par teachers who, themselves, know little about science.
Thus, the explanations given to many students are lacking, akward and often appologetic.
This is a sad state of affairs. :(

If it actually worked the way that homoeopaths claim it does we would have to toss out everything we know about atomic theory and chemistry, and there is absolutely no evidential backing for their crazy ideas.
It was nonsense when it was first 'invented' and it makes even less sense now.
