Uncommonly are kids asked to debate science: from a high schooler’s perspective, the most one gets out of the science classes here is note-taking, lab write-ups, and the regurgitation of information, which is why Goldacre is so adamant on the institution of varying sciences at earlier ages, …show more content…
