We certainly still teach outmoded models when it makes pedagogical sense to
do so--Newtonian Mechanics for one, and most of us talk about friction as
though we know something about it (we don't). ... Show that teaching the
Classical Thermo approach to heat up front works with the broad range of
intro students and that it works better than the most popular current
approaches. If that could be done with relativistic quantum mechanics
versus Newtonian mechanics, then we might well drop the latter except from
'History of Science' courses....
