It is so weird that schools cannot provide problem-solving-oriented and project-based instruction on ALL subjects.
Perhaps with different levels of challenge, so that students could pick a challenging course, say, in math and latin, and a slightly easier one in physics and literature, according to their interests.
The notion that STEM and Humanities need to be separated has been debunked decades ago. There are so many that excel in both, since the best students are the creative/critical thinking ones, and those are skills needed for all subjects.
Having challenging courses shouldn't mean a ton of homework either!
Getting off soapbox now.
- scientist, who knows we need problem-solvers instead of formula-appliers.
DC got a dual degree - BA in English and BS in Engineering - and is very close to getting his PhD in engineering from MIT. It is definitely possible for some kids.
