yes and it was a dumb reason. back to my post #3 - teach science in high school for the sake of teaching science. not to create scientists.</p>
<p>garland - instill wonder!! Yes, I like that. good post!
your H’s students are lucky. my brother is a hs science teacher and says the same thing. There is no reason to teach cell biology in 9th grade bio! no one teaches gross biology anymore. Teach it the way it was learned over the years by biologists - plants and animals and learn the classifications on a gross level - not a micro level that young minds often can’t visualize.</p>
