[quote=Anonymous]It’s not required to do dissections in MCPS. It’s not part of the curriculum. Only if your school is willing to purchase specimens will that ever happen and you have extra time to squeeze it in. I am an MCPS science teacher who believes in the value of hands on. I came from industry. I’m in middle school but I spend hundreds of dollars of my own money each year to conduct labs. This is my last year doing that anymore because it’s so unsustainable. My classes are too large now. It’s a shame they don’t put more emphasis on science here. I don’t even want to teach science anymore now. I would hate it as a kid if it wasn’t hands on. I would hate it as a teacher too! My 9th grade bio teacher opened my eyes to science due to the really interesting labs he did. We are losing potential future engineers and scientists by their lack of commitment to STEM. [/quote]
