tbf biology is also stem

afaik every accredited place has general ed stuff, but it's like either or. you can take chemistry or biology to fullfill them. not that it would matter, a lot of gened n stuff is easy to blowoff and just cram the night before on adderall and then just instantly forget it after you walk out of the door-frame out of your final exam anyways

the American education system is great. small animal like bird and lizard and bug lay egg. mouse is small so obviously egg

you don't need to know this info to push buttons at a factory so it's not worth teaching in school

I think it's more that nests are for laying eggs, therefore mouse nests presumably have eggs. still a complete failure in education, no doubt

https://lawandcrime.com/lawsuit/im-...sword-fighting/

quote:

The guardians of a high school student in New Mexico who was hacked in the wrist by a samurai sword during �school-sponsored sword fighting,� requiring a trip to the emergency room, have filed a lawsuit in the case, according to a lawsuit.

The lawsuit, filed Feb. 23, said the �school-sponsored sword fighting� happened in a chemistry class at Volcano Vista High School in Albuquerque on May 2, 2022. A sophomore was taken to the ER after one of the fights and has been suffering from permanent physical and psychological injuries from the trauma, the lawsuit says.

�It was total shock,� family attorney Jessica Hernandez told FOX New Mexico affiliate KRQE. �Not only did this teacher and APS (Albuquerque Public Schools) not protect this child, but actively put her in harm�s way, actively created this danger, and put deadly weapons right into these student�s hands and exactly what could reasonably be anticipated is what happened.�

The complaint obtained by Law&Crime said the teacher brought in a �surprise� that day � two swords, a katana-style sword with a long, curved blade and a rapier-style weapon that the teacher called �props.� She instructed the students to rearrange their desks, creating a space in the middle of the classroom and encouraged her students to fight one another for two minutes each while other students shot video on their phones.

In the video, a student can be seen wielding the heavy katana sword. He appears to wield it defensively by parrying the other student�s attacks, moving backward, and retreating away while holding a lighter, longer rapier-style blade. He makes stabbing motions toward the other student as teacher Loviata Mitchell looks on.

The next match drew blood.

A student identified in court documents as N.S. was struck across the right forearm, wrist, and hand by a student holding a katana-style sword. The injury caused intense physical pain and heavy bleeding, court documents said.

Immediately after N.S. was cut, Mitchell said, �I�m in trouble!� The lawsuit said she ordered her students to delete their videos, refrain from posting anything about the fights online, and not tell anyone.

As N.S. bled, Mitchell tried to call the health office, �but she could not figure out how to do so� and did not immediately call 911, the lawsuit alleges.

Mitchell allowed N.S. to call her grandfather for help � about 20 minutes after N.S. was cut.

�As N.S. began to feel nauseous and weak from blood loss, another student ran to the VVHS health office for medical assistance,� court documents said.

Shortly after that, a school health assistant arrived in Mitchell�s classroom, called 911, and began providing first aid � about 30 minutes after N.S. had been cut. The student was taken to an emergency room where she was treated for �a gaping wound on her right wrist� an hour after being cut by a �real sword consistent with [a] �samurai sword� style item,� Albuquerque Fire Department EMS staff dispatched to the scene noted, court documents said.

The assistant principal�s official school accident report said the teacher brought a �prop� to school for a lesson on �metal and melding (science)� and that the student accidentally cut the other student with it.�

Albuquerque Public Schools did not comment on the lawsuit, citing a policy against commenting on pending litigation, KQRE reported, adding Mitchell was hired as a special-education teacher in 2021 and was terminated in 2022.

The lawsuit seeks an undisclosed amount for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost future earnings, loss of mobility, and psychological and emotional distress.

If you press STEM-chauvinists hard enough they'll generally admit that they only see the T and E parts as worthwhile, probably because Science is Woke now. I think it's just a recursive logic wherein anybody who is underpaid is at fault for it because they didn't game the job market or w/e.

Also, my experience being a TA was that

1) Institutions are perfectly happy to shove people into classrooms with no training (like me lmao).

2) Undergrad is the new high school and there's pressure to juice student's scores to get the average up.

I'm decent at mentoring someone, but I am extremely glad that I do not have to do any teaching anymore.

The average person has a miasma theory of disease, doesn't understand what a protein is, and believes in lamarckian evolution. Which tbh is about in line with the average person's understanding of chemistry, geography, history, or physics.

Science education is completely hosed. I'm not really sure how to fix it. The issue isn't that it's not taught in school. The issue is that people immediately forget everything the second the test is over because they don't value knowledge.
