...People are taught science in highschool as a bucket of things to memorize. Memorize the right things and you pass the tests. But real science is a process of finding new and useful ideas. HS science classes are like the dog eating the scraps when the chef is busy in the kitchen coming up with a new gourmet dish. The dog has no concept of the chef's work. That's a problem we (as a society) need to rectify. Bring the dogs to the dinner table so they can taste the dish and savour it rather than eating the scraps.
