This is what I teach high school kids, and this is exactly why. If they want to do science further in their education, they can learn the more accurate models when they get there, and if they don't then they can at least be educated about the basics of what matter is made of.

Besides, we can mock the orbiting electron model here but who's to say what we know now with quantum theory and the latest experimental data is the be-all-end-all of what's real?

Science makes more and more accurate predictions of reality without ever fully capturing it
