@abetterjulie@Twarda The more I think about it the more preposterous it seems— but then these pronouncements become self-fulfilling: academically serious students avoid biology and ‘earth science’ — students with less confidence gravitate towards it- the teachers then end up adjusting the depth of the material to to meet the students— so the so call “easy” science classes end up both easy and more boring. This happens in math as well and I’ve been striving to fight it.
