I really like Greene's article about opening up people's minds to science more. But it seems to me that not everybody necessarily wants to be like that. I mean, sure, it's really interesting to think about, but its just not everybody's style. And if it is something you're interested in, you'll find a way to get into it anyway, with or without your teacher's help. I know all my biology classes in middle and high school were memorizing facts and that sort of thing, and I ended up really getting interested in biology. The other science classes I had, like chemistry and ecology, really were hands-on and focused on trying to make people see the big picture, and how everything related to the world around us. I never got into either of those subjects.
