[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This idea that all neighborhood schools willl be STEAM seems like such a gimmick. [/quote] I don't know if it is a gimmick as much as a realistic view of where the world is going. [/quote] "Where the world is going"? Even if someone were to concede that STEM majors are all more marketable than any others -- and that's not the case because certain letters are significantly more in demand -- that doesn't mean that the social sciences and the humanities are worthless. I hear a lot of people who don't work in a STEM field insisting that those are the only jobs that will be around when our kids graduate. I don't agree, and I haven't heard anything persuasive to the contrary. Not that there won't be a demand for some STEM fields, just that not all STEM majors are created equal and that lots of other fields will still be hiring. I think there will be more overlap between disciplines. [/quote]
