Description: discussion of science education
When I was in school, I LOVED science class. Honestly, one of my classmates asked me in 8th grade if I ate my science book because I was such a science nerd. I find that many of my students don't share my love of science classes. I looked forward to science class for as long as I can remember. I love that it was full of facts that were interesting and how life is amazing in its complexity and so fragile but can withstand a great deal of fluctuations. I learned how to "speak" science at an early age (see aforementioned book eating) and that made my life in science classes not only easier, but more successful. In a perfect world, you would all love science class as much as I do, but alas, I'm not THAT big a fool.
