Despite the efforts of
Despite the efforts of teachers across the country, I believe that science education as a whole is severely lacking. While I do not believe that all students should be required to continue their scientific education in college, and beyond, I do feel that science is an integral part of the early education of a well-rounded individual. When I was in elementary school, I took part in a special program that my school offered called the Multi-age group. The basic premise was that one class each from 1st thru 4th grades would be in this group, and we would all learn together. While we were obviously taught all subjects, there was an emphasis on hands on science education. Together we would design experiments, perform them, and then analyze the results. While these were all basic experiments, due to how young we were, I feel that these experiments instilled in me the basics of scientific exploration, and piqued my interest in further scientific education. While the method for inspiring students is often different from school to school, I do feel that a certain level of basics need to be learned by everyone, in order for them to become productive members of society. While not everyone has the potential to become a rocket scientist, the basics can be applied to so many day-to-day activities that an individual who is scientifically literate has an advantage over all of those individuals who are not.
