[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the question is:  should a non-science/math kid take a class in which it’s a given s/he will get a bad grade?  Or should they instead substitute a different science class, one in which they will hopefully get a decent grade?  I mean, why insist on taking physics if the kid is not going to do well in it?  That’s just setting him up for failure.  [/quote]

Every kid should take Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Just like every kid should take literature, even if it means getting a  bad grade. Courses are for learning material, not for getting grades.[/quote]

Thank you. This is the point. Just because you are not a “writing kid”, should you be excused from civics or history classes simply because you have taken literature?  Science is important in today’s society.  Every citizen should have basic exposure to chem, physics and bio. [/quote]

DP.  I see your point, but there should be chemistry and physics options that are not math based - concepts only.  You do NOT need to know formulas to understand basic concepts in these classes.  [/quote]
