A major problem is the difficulty of instilling a sane and sensible humility. It is useful to teach the current prevailing consensus about scientific matters, but it is just as important, maybe moreso, to get kids to realize that the prevailing consensus has never proved solid in the long run, and there's no reason to think our current set of hypotheses and theories will still be current in our children's or grandchildren's heyday. Which is not to say that "they" will be that much more enlightened than we.
