I gotta admit, Im having a really hard time pushing kids toward STEM (or STEAM if you add 'Art') as I don't see it as one size fits all.
WE did hit on the concept of project based work. In one breath he tried to challenge my income with it while early, project bonuses were a 'plus' in his column.
STEM people are lying. They make less than they are pretending to
The reality is why work hard and learn math and science, when you can party everyday and get a job "investing" someone else's money.
Not sure how anyone could fail that. Test was too easy. You got to be pretty dumb to fail a 5th grade science test.
Wow...........there were only a couple of questions I wasn't 100% sure of the answer. And my calling was not in science. That just tells me there are a whole lot of tards walking through Walmart parking lots. :grin
We are a nation of uneducated tards, and for the most part, they vote Democrat. :rotflmao

You do realize that is a lot more complicated than simple math and science didn't you? Are you trying to pry the prize from Conchy's fingers or will you just settle for a playoff berth? :Spittingcoffee
After 128 posts it's pretty clear they were right saying that; Most Adults Fail 5th Grade Science Test
I'm not disagreeing with you Fibber....... I just get a chuckle out of people who somehow think that "fact retention".....sometimes 60 years out..... somehow equates to stupidity....:rotflmao
The 5th Grade Science Test Most Adults failed may have dealt with "fact retention" but the vast "stupidity" exhibited in most of the replies here certainly does not.
As to your "chuckle" excuse "sometimes 60 years out" - virtually everybody I know involved in science has continued to learn & knows dramatically more now.
Conversely, those who were failing science when they were in 5th Grade never had any "fact retention" to begin with & still never did anything to educate themselves since - "sometimes 60 years out".
Most adults, including most of you on this very forum, don't know the difference between "your" and "you're".
My former sister-in-law with her bachelors majoring in English made a very good living at her career at Cape Canaveral translating editing and re-writing reports by engineers.

I don't doubt it. I see it every single day at work. I see poorly written emails, both internal and to customers, I see poorly written proposals, poorly written tech manuals and poorly written reports. At least with proposals, we usually bring in a consultant to rewrite the technical sections before they're submitted.

Some are easily amused by the Dumbing Down of America. Some don't "feel that topics like these are worthy of any serious discussion". A few even "feel the need to chuckle" about this kind of national deficiency.
Like always.....It was wonderful having "words" with you.....
I must admit that I feel the need to "chuckle" at topics like these and those who feel that topics like these are worthy of any serious discussion.
As for me "Fibber"....I wish to thank you for the "chuckle".
IMO the "stupidity" that is the topic here is a national disgrace & embarrassment that seriously jeopardizes America's future.
When I read "topics like these" that show, for instance, that only 36% of Americans can name the 3 branches of government it helps explain the anti-science rhetoric & denials we see here.
Might "chuckle" when I see folks, who can't pass a 5th grade science test, attempt to bash 'Scientific American', NOAA, NASA, USGS, etc, etc, etc - IF it weren't so pathetic.

Most cannot read a map or God forbid a navigation chart.
A friend of mine did a water pressure experiment in 5th grade, he flushed a M80 down a toilet.
I think I have found my new signature!

I believe that....it sounds about right...
Can you show me how many 5th graders are paying a $3000, per month mortgage or 2 car payments, taxes...food....yada...yada...etc....????

I'm sure many non-technical persons reading my reply appreciate your clarification.
Just a couple. My botany career started in 1989.

Yes you are a youngster that is apparent. So what is the Botanical names of these plants that you discovered?
