[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with you OP. It's truly shocking how scientifically illiterate most people are and frankly I think all the hours spent on literature in K-12 is a big fat waste of time. Haters gonna hate but that's my honest opinion. I had it all shoved down my throat as a kid, never got anything out of it, and now as an adult I never, ever read fiction and it doesn't negatively impact my life in any way. But having a good grasp of statistics and the scientific method is helpful to me every single day. And sadly, I know all too many supposedly educated adults who managed to graduate from college without developing either of those skills. Sad![/quote] You're missing out. I've learned as much about the world from fiction as I have from things that are "true." [/quote]
