[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to see the county look at a humanities focused specialized/honors high school (modern language, ancient language, increased focused on writing, etc).  I went to one in NYC, and it was a fantastic education. This is a big county for just one honors HS. They could even aim to made it a combined a Humanities and Arts HS. [/quote]

I would be angry if our tax dollars were wasted on a specialized high school for youngsters pursuing worthless majors.[/quote]

What an ignorant position. STEM is worthless (or harmful!) when not communicated well or not informed by history, ethics, and culture.

Critical thinking is endangered in this country. Even things you think we'd be good at, like understanding a scripted TV show, are beyond so many people because they have no experience with literary devices. Understanding medicine, statistics, or political conflict is beyond most, as we've seen. Honestly I think focusing on STEM at the HS level is foolish and outdated, like saying kids should all learn to code. [/quote]
