I took the minimum amount of science classes in highschool. Lack of science education is less of a problem than teaching you how to sort through bullshit and analytical thinking. I basically think that our school system needs to stop focusing so hard on teaching things from the textbooks in an ever-changing world that's cherry picked from an endless wealth of knowledge and focus more on learning how to be skeptical and check various sources and such. In school it seemed like research was always just a backseat to the goal, instead of the goal itself.

    Ngl I like learning from textbooks now that I am out of highschool. I learn faster too.

    And weirdest part is that I still can't study through my highschool textbooks.

    I am geniuenly wondering if they were just simply terrible at picking good textbooks and overall using them to teach.
