Report Urges More Coordination To Improve Science And Math

The National Science Foundation has created a new plan to improve the teaching of science, technology, engineering, and math in schools. It’s another of those pie-in-the-sky bureaucratic shuffles that will shift a few deckchairs while the quality of education continues to sink.

Look, this just a thought, but maybe if all our teachers based their science courses on actual science texts, rather than a religious book written in the Bronze Age by nomadic Middle Eastern shepherds, our kids would learn stuff that is a bit more useful to themselves and the country.
