Okay, this is nit picking, but it's important.
I understand how science works. You come up with a theory, test it,and publish the results.
You come up with a hypothesis.
A hypothesis is not a theory. The "Theory of Evolution" is not just something that someone made up which hasn't been tested. If it way, we wouldn't teach it, and if we did it'd be called the "Hypothesis of Evolution".
When schools insist on saying "The theory of evolution is just a theory", they think that they are putting ToE down.
But a "theory" is bigger than a "Law".
The biggest difference between a law and a theory is that a theory is much more complex and dynamic. A law governs a single action, whereas a theory explains a whole series of related phenomena.
The "Law of Gravity" is just a law.
