Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke were smarter than most science teachers. Reading there books was more informative about a proper scientific attitude that most teachers.
But other writers were decent also.

So that's where Republicans get their vast knowledge of "science". From "science FICTION" writers.
Maybe they aren't familiar with the work "fiction"?
That is the curious thing about science fiction. It has changed since the 70s and been invaded by more Liberal Arts people who emphasize the FICTION over the SCIENCE. A lot of stuff called science fiction AIN'T. The Hyperion series by Dan Simmons is a perfect example.
So admittedly some stuff called science fiction is really STUPID but that is not what I am saying is worth having kids read.
Here is a science fiction story about finding water on the Moon from 1959 which NASA did not do until 2009.
