[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is strange to go through high school and not take a basic course of bio, Chem, and physics. But people seem to be forgoing physics more and more. My kids’ school requires physics. And I’m happy about it. It’s the most fundamental of all sciences. An educated citizen should know a little bit about it. [/quote]
Agree. All people should have taken at least a standard level physics class in high school to be a nominally educated person.

Not at all.  Basic physics concepts are always covered in general science classes, usually in middle school.  I mean, I could counter your argument by saying taking a foreign language through the AP level is necessary for "all people" to be nominally educated.  Which is what my own kids did.  [/quote]

Np. I agree that taking a foreign language is necessary for someone to be educated.  I also think that understanding some of the basics of the most fundamental of sciences - physics- is necessary.  You don’t have to take AP physics or honors physics.  But an intro physics class in high school should be a baseline.  [/quote]
