Cutting Ed (590 words) |
 | Science is a creative, artistic endeavor that perpetuates itself on wonder, exploration, experimentation, failure, revision, self-evaluation, and learning. |
| We, who teach the children science, must bear the burden of over-emphasis on the “essential” content and facts, on “getting through the material” and on being slaves to time and resources. |
| We science teachers must return to the reason we became scientists in the first place &mdash the unquenchable need to figure out the puzzles before us — and we need to preserve this type of learning in young students while we work to cultivate it at the high school and college level. |
