College our administration and board decided to build a state of the art baseball field, benefiting the few dozen young men who are on the baseball team (the women get their own field). Meanwhile the science departments who serve thousands of students (literally, we're a big school) are in bungalows.<br /><br />It's positively criminal how many schools around the state and around the country are short changing science education.<br /><br />For instance, check out this science survey by Pew research: http://www.pewresearch.org/quiz/science-knowledge/<br /><br />Only 7% of Americans were able to answer all 13 questions correctly -- questions that any Middle School kid should be able to answer!<br /><br />So thank you to MJC for setting a great example!
