Maybe they teach science differently now than when I went to school
and when my boys (now ages 19 and 22) went to school, but science was
inherently taught as conditional and subject to testing and change.
There are things that are known facts, but there is a lot that is
still unexplained -- the true nature of light, for example, and why
gravity is such a weak force compared to the others, and a whole host
of things in biology and geology.

If the point is to teach the limits of our understanding, that can be
and in my experience was and is taught. There are lots of questions
still to which the answer is "we don't know."
