The fundamentals of science take less than a day to learn. New inductees find discovery fun (just ask an elementary school kid). However, the emphasis quickly turns to the mastery. The expectation of proficiency by everyone is what drives our curriculum. No such expectation exists for sports because only the best survive. Imagine what a football class would look like if all students were required to take it and the expectation was proficiency for all. High School football would disappear overnight. on Science Literacy in the 21st CenturytheBIOguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733992363383514915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34560063.post-91399568946330475852012-06-13T14:30:19.245-07:002012-06-13T14:30:19.245-07:00The difference of course, is that you can learn th...The difference of course, is that you can learn the fundamentals of the entirety of football in a day or two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
