Re: Before and After Science (none / 1)

The curriculum is a minor factor compared to the teacher and, especially, the student.

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?

Re: Before and After Science (4.00 / 2)

All my science teachers were duds. (I am being VERY charitable here) I lived in small towns and anyone who knew science could get MUCH better jobs elsewhere. Yet by 16, I was one of 250 National Science Foundation scholars in USA. So one could conclude that:

Teachers don't help that much
There is so much science all around us we can pick it up by simple contact
Its much more important to learn why we should study science than to learn the details
