Comment on Mitochondria

  It’s different in different regions and it’s certainly moved around over the years.

  And the point remains, we graduate students who know what the powerhouse of a cell is but not how to do their taxes, work a 401k, put together a realistic budget, plan for major purchases, make a work schedule, or have any saleable skills other than being able bodied.

  We aren’t preparing people for life, we’re warehousing them until college and if they don’t go to college we just shove them into the cracks.

    I understood the point, I agree with that. I wasn’t commenting on that part

  You only have one year of bio in high school?

    Unless you take AP, where they wouldn’t be harping on this particular line about mitochondria, yes. One year of bio.

  God forbid anyone taking a different path in life than you…

    School systems set the path, and it’s pretty standardized when these subjects get taught. They wait until kids get more math skills for physics classes to take place, meaning the less math heavy subjects go first, like bio and earth science.

  Bio is like a freshman/sophomore course.

  In your opinion, should it be?

  • Bronzebeard@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Yes.

    We don’t need even more antivax idiots due to a complete lack of biology being taught in schools.

    • Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Yes.

      In that biology course, how would you want the biology knowledge to be taught to the students? Like what form would the knowledge take? For example, would it be that you want students to simply memorize a sort of currently understood concepts in biology? Would it be something else?

        None of this line of questioning is related to this thread in a any way.
