Again, awesome web log!
My partner and I stumbled over here coming from
a different web address and thought I might

I like what you guys are usually up too. Such clever work and coverage!
Keep up the superb works guys I’ve you guys to blogroll.
Hi there I am so glad I found your blog, I really found you by error, while I was looking on Bing for something else, Nonetheless I am here now and would just like to say cheers for a remarkable post and a all round entertaining blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to read it all at the moment but I have book-marked it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read much more, Please do keep up the great work.
Appreciating the time and energy you put into your site and in depth information you present. It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same out of date rehashed material. Wonderful read! I’ve bookmarked your
site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.
Hey there! I’ve been reading your site for a
long time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out
from New Caney Tx! Just wanted to say keep up the excellent work!

I am really loving the theme/design of your
weblog. Do you ever run into any internet browser
compatibility issues? A few of my blog readers have complained
about my website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox.
Do you have any recommendations to help fix this issue?

I’m curious to find out what blog platform you happen to be using? I’m experiencing some minor security problems with my
latest blog and I’d like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any suggestions?
Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum
it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.
Do you have any suggestions for rookie blog
writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this site.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to
get that “perfect balance” between superb usability
and visual appeal. I must say you’ve done a great job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Opera. Exceptional Blog!
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your website? My blog site is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my users would genuinely benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this ok with you. Cheers!
Hi would you mind letting me know which web host you’re working with?

I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a good hosting provider at a fair price? Many thanks, I appreciate it!
Excellent blog you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics talked about here? I’d really like
to be a part of group where I can get advice from other knowledgeable
individuals that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Thanks!
Good day! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to
give a quick shout out and tell you I genuinely enjoy reading through your posts.
Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same topics?

Thank you!
Do you have a spam issue on this blog; I also am a blogger, and I was curious about your situation; we
have created some nice procedures and we are looking to trade
techniques with others, why not shoot me an email if interested.

Please let me know if you’re looking for a article writer for your site. You have some really good articles and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d love to write some articles for your blog in
exchange for a link back to mine. Please send me an email if interested.
Many thanks!
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is valuable and all. However think
of if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this site could certainly be one of
the greatest in its niche. Awesome blog!
Amazing blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from
somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would
really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where
you got your theme. Thanks
Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m
going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.

The design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon.

Kudos
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
My website has a lot of unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any methods to help reduce content from being stolen? I’d certainly
appreciate it.
Have you ever considered publishing an e-book or guest authoring on other websites?

I have a blog based on the same topics you
discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information.
I know my readers would value your work.
If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to send me an email.
Hi there! Someone in my Myspace group shared this website with us so I came to look it over. I’m definitely loving
the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Fantastic blog and amazing design and style.
Great blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused .
. Any tips? Thanks!
My coder is trying to convince me to move to
.net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on several websites for
about a year and am worried about switching to
another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.
net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

Does your site have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like
to send you an email. I’ve got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.
It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d most certainly donate to this fantastic blog!

I guess for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to fresh updates and will talk about this site with my Facebook group. Chat soon!
Greetings from Florida! I’m bored to tears at work so
I decided to browse your blog on my iphone during lunch break.
I really like the knowledge you present here and
can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m amazed at how quick your blog loaded
on my phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, superb blog!
Hello! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My website covers a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to send me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the way!

Right now it appears like BlogEngine is the best blogging platform available right now.
(from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
Good post however I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very
grateful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Kudos!

Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could
find a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having difficulty
finding one? Thanks a lot!
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and
now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment.

Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Thanks!
Hey! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a group of
volunteers and starting a new project in a community in the same niche.

Your blog provided us useful information to work on. You have done a marvellous job!

Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog
platform are you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers
and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Hello! This post couldn’t be written any better!

Reading through this post reminds me of my old room mate!
He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this write-up to him.
Pretty sure he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site
when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to
go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell
someone!
Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad
and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she
can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she
has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

But maybe you could a little more in the
way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or
two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and
i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam feedback?
If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can suggest?
I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.
This design is incredible! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your website.

It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Excellent work!
Hi! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after reading through some of the post
I realized it’s new to me. Anyhow, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!
Hey! Would you mind if I share your blog with my zynga group? There’s a lot of
people that I think would really appreciate your
content. Please let me know. Cheers
Hey there, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.

I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good blog!

Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News?

I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Many thanks
Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m
not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty
quick. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to start.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Cheers
Hello! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to
find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this issue.

If you have any recommendations, please share. With thanks!

I’m not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your sites really nice,
keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back later on. Cheers
I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz answer back as I’m looking to construct my own blog and would like to find out where u got this from.
thanks a lot
Whoa! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a entirely different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!
Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t
loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in
two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.

Hi there are using WordPress for your blog platform?
I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own.

Do you require any html coding knowledge to
make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Heya this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if
blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually
code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
Hi! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be ok.
I’m definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.
Hi there! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about
losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?
Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for
some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good gains. If you know of any please share. Cheers!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious
what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so
I’m not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it
Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I’m
trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
I’m not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading incredibly slow for me.
Is anyone else having this problem or is
it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
Howdy! I’m at work browsing your blog from my new iphone 4!
Just wanted to say I love reading your blog and look forward to all
your posts! Carry on the outstanding work!
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m
not writing all that over again. Anyways, just
wanted to say fantastic blog!

]]> Comment on A new era of responsible innovation by Barbara Bickell http://2020science.org/2009/12/16/owen/#comment-467333 Barbara Bickell Fri, 05 Apr 2013 21:57:15 +0000 http://2020science.org/?p=2628#comment-467333 Hi, Dr. Owen,
I’m hoping that you might be able to offer some advice.

I am writing to you because I am very alarmed about something
that can affect me and all of the people in our area.

There is a proposal, in the Port Hope area, to build a huge plant to burn garbage. We all know how important it is to manage the ever-increasing amounts of waste
that we generate, so my first reaction was very positive.

What has frightened me very much is the potential harm that this plant could cause to the health of all the people who live around here, as well as the water, and the plants, and animals. Although I am a few kilometres from this plant, I have read that the ultra-fine particles produced by this process can travel long distances and they can remain in the air for a very long time. They are so tiny, they can invade every cell. And the effects are more damaging to children.
I’m alarmed that, currently, our provincial Ministry of the Environment has no regulations regarding the release of these nano-particles. None, and they are bio-accumulating, like asbestos.

I don’t want to sound like a crank, there is lots of evidence to support what I’m saying. I wish I knew what to say to make the town councillors pay proper attention to this. Eventually we will all be downwind from this.

Please, Dr. Owen, perhaps you could send an email to Mayor Thompson of Port
Hope to let her know that it might not be such a good idea?(mayor@porthope.ca)

The councillors seem to have been completely charmed by the self-serving, unverified claims of the REM Entech company, for example, REM Entech claim 20 years experience, but actually have only recently purchased the franchise from an Australian frim, and have not actually built any facilities. They claim it is ‘clean technology’ and that it’s not really an incinerator, but an ‘energy-from-waste’ plant.

Do you have any suggestions about what I could do about this?
Maybe it they heard from someone of your international stature, they might decide it’s a risk not worth taking.

Thank you for your attention to this. I guess you can tell how desperate I feel. It’s not as if we can all just hold our breath.

Sincerely,
Barbara Bickell,
Campbellcroft, Ontario, Canada.

I was wondering if you or your editors were at all concerned that the paper: Environmental anomalies at the World Trade Center: evidence for energetic materials was published in the above Journal when it was named The Environmentalist. This paper was submitted by a 9/11 Controlled Demolition conspiracy proponent and the fact that it was “peer-reviewed” and published in this journal has been used to lend credence to its veracity. The authors in question have used unsound protocols and have drawn conclusions that do not fit the data.

This paper and the fact that it was published by Bentham lead to it being revealed that Bentham’s peer review was either incompetent or non-existent, and the senior editor resigned once they found out that it had been published under the Bentham name. I was wondering if you could comment on that.

It’s an opinion obviously but I can give you the reasoning behind it. Doha can be a place for new beginnings strictly because it is still in the beginning of its development. Everyday things are changing here, everyday the landscape is different and this process will continue for many years and with the right input and the right decisions this beginning can be a new kind of beginning where the mistakes of others are learned from and avoided. This ties into why I claim Doha is a place for breaking the rules of convention. Many of the traditional boundaries of development don’t exist here, a major one being money to fund expensive “environmentally sustainable” development projects. The rules of convention can be broken here in unique ways that don’t exist in other places, just look at the skyline. I admit that the post sounds like I am completely drinking the Qatar kool-aid but I am simply trying to communicate that there are things to celebrate in environmental policy and advocacy and the overwhelming amount of negativity is exhausting.

Universities continue to cling to the notion of ‘peer review’, usually by a small cadre of people in order to reach a smaller niche group. The content delivery approaches are then intended to reinforce the views of the small niche to a fractionally larger wider niche.

The citizen science approach however aims to get informed first, for the most in the most effective way possible. The rise of the social media delivery is as much an attempt to by-pass the blockages and barriers deliberately developed by the historical University models, as it is an embrace of faster and seemingly more immediately useful snippets of information. These social media have an element of what I call JITT – just in time training, as well as being able to feed the insatiable curiosity of the masses (rather than of the few)

No, no way. For Calc II? Yes, of course. There are somethings that graphing calculators can help us do to solve problems and help us visualize the math that is actually going on, as in finding zeros and intersections of systems of equations that rotate around around some y = c. Even more remedial chemical calculations dealing with pH: finding the -logarithms and understanding graphical relationships between equivalence points and, volumes of base, and [H+], these little plastic boxes become an indispensible tool. But can you learn anything new by having one in algebra one or two? Even elementary linear algebra? No, you can do it by hand. Technology, for the most part, has not proved itself to be the changing factor in classroom education.

The students that went to school there took a minimum of Calculus 1, 2 years of Chem, 1 year of Physics and Bio, among all the other classes they had. They would take 8-9 classes per term. They took AP level classes in the 9th to 11th grades. The students that started AP classes sooner, ended up taking “college level” classes in the 11th and 12th grades. All the general education classes Americans take in college were taught to these students in highschool.

Most of the students at this highschool were there foreign born and wanted to attend college in their home countries. They couldn’t attend regular public school nor private schools because the level of the American school are so far below the European, Japanese, Canadian standards. This school used the IB program. There were 30+ students in each class I subbed for. The students used pages copied from different textbooks as their textbooks. A Bloomfield public school couldn’t afford to purchase proper books for all the students they had.

When I hear people complaining about how we need smaller class sizes and more money to make American schools better, I don’t get the argument. We need students that are willing to learn. We need students that think knowledge is the way to college, not football, basketball or any other sport. Sports are fun to play but, they are not life. ( I say this while watching the Tigers play the Yankees, thinking I should go to the gym for a workout.) The students at IA wanted to learn. In any one class you could hear students swear in 6-10 different languages. IA had an ESL program. The students at IA were the same as any other school, other than they really wanted to learn.

With all of that said, I know of several EHS students, from foreign countries, that are required to take Calculus, Organic Chemistry, and other Gen Ed classes because those classes don’t appear on the college transcripts. In Europe, China, Taiwan and elsewhere, those classes are highschool level. So they will never appear on a college transcript. I would hope that someone who understands foreign education systems would be able to say something to the people that evaluate transcripts in the department.

Hope you daughter does well this year. If she wants to come back though, there are schools for her here in Michigan. You might have to move to Novi or Farmington. But, an internationally recognized, higher quality than Detroit Country Day, high school is here in Michigan. And it’s free.

This is really interesting – and important. I was thinking more about Henry’s videos as unbundling ideas and information into small, accessible pieces/threads that together help build a tapestry of understanding. But I think you are right – it is the inspiration and relevance that hold everything together here. Can’t believe I missed this – I’m a physicist who got into physics precisely because I was inspired and engaged.

Lectures are meant to convey information as completely and efficiently as possible. This information can be definitions, derivations, equations, theories, examples, etc… What is often missing is the reason for accumulating the information in the first place. Why should anyone care? What relevance does it have? Students see the information as something that needs to be internalized so it can be regurgitated later in an exam.

While most of the lectures I’ve attended are an efficient way to convey information, they don’t convey inspiration. I learn because I have to, not because I want to. Inspiration comes from possibility and the unknown. It comes from seeing how these possibilities are relevant to my experience, not just in the abstract. This is exactly what Henry Reich’s video does so well. Yes, it does convey information in an accessible way. But it also does more than that. It isn’t a series of facts or mathematical definitions of the Higgs boson. Instead, it tells us why the particle is so interesting to physicists, what it means for our understanding of the universe, and why its experimental confirmation isn’t the end of the story, but might be the beginning of another.

Treating Reich’s video as a condensed or ‘accessible’ lecture misses the point. His videos inspire more learning. Do I come away from the video with expertise in the Higgs boson? Of course not. Compared with a lecture on the subject, I would have far less information about the particle. What I do come away with is interest in the subject. I’m inspired to learn more through traditional channels. The video gives the particle context that I can use to organize the more detailed information and put it into context. I want to learn more so I can better understand what he means by for e.g. a Higgs field, and how exactly the existence of the boson was predicted from our ‘standard’ model before it was ever experimentally validated. I come away motivated and fascinated. This is the human element of science. We don’t function as machines where information goes in one end, and innovation out the other. Innovation comes from knowledge AND fascination. Fascination, in turn, comes from engagement. Engagement is such a vital piece of the puzzle and is so often missing from the traditional academic model.

There is still a place for traditional lectures. However, without fascination as context, the information can feel irrelevant.

In the UK I believe students enter university with a course in mind, and begin focusing in that course immediately, which of requires a strong base. In the US, as you say, students don’t develop this strong base in a subject until the first year of university but they are afforded more academic freedom. This is the core of the liberal arts education, and why undergraduate degrees in the US are typically 4 year programs rather than 3.
Perhaps a more fair comparison of the two systems would be to compare a US student after the first year of university and a UK student in the last year of high school.

Time and scheduling must also be an important factor. At my (public, in Illinois, class of 2004), and I think many high schools in the US, we had the same classes every day, so a chemistry class or lab could be at maximum one hour long. At the university level, students often have incredibly rigorous chemistry and physics courses in their first year, with lab components could have 3-4 hours reserved. I think students greatly benefit from more in-depth sessions than several short sessions. The first-year chem and physics courses at US universities are often what help students to find their passion for a future in science, probably partly because of the longer sessions.

I have no data either, but I also feel that the system is quite good for those who are interested and committed to science. This is course the fault of the “tracking” policy of many US elementary and high-schools. In my case I was on an “honors” track–a biology course, followed by chemistry, and two years of physics. Others could have taken a remedial science course and never progressed to any physics or chemistry at all. As one of these “lucky ones” I had a great high school physics teacher who convinced me to major in physics in college, which turned into having great professors. Now I’m in a physics PhD program and several of my high schools peers have been successful as well. For those who the system doesn’t identify as top students, the effort isn’t to make them top students in science or to communicate how important it is, but instead to push them through more basic courses. The interesting science is largely forgotten, which is really unfortunate.

Perhaps more than unfortunate, it should be alarming that more effort isn’t made to instill respect for science in all our youth. Identifying a problem, researching, collecting evidence, and drawing reasonable conclusions seem, to my biased viewpoint, as an excellent way to go about solving problems. It’s particularly unnerving not only when politicians disregard fact and evidence in favor of ideological “solutions”, but also that so many others in the US hop on that bandwagon, unable to identify that lack of evidence or fact.

I have a 10th grader and an 8th grader. The eighth grader’s school supply list is the one available.

While I was shopping for the 8th grader’s list, I tried to anticipate my 10th graders list and start buying his. So I mentioned the calculator that my 8th grader needed, the TI-83 to my 10th grader. So my 10th grader suggested that I give his sister his graphing calculator the TI-83.

So I said have you been using it. He said yes but not much. Now he has had that calculator since 7th grade. I was pleasantly suprised abuot that but quite perplexed that he was still using the same TI-83 and “not that much”.

So I did some research and came across your article and instead of buying the calculator I ll email the teacher to make sure of the “using it not that much” calculator is really required. Maybe that could save me the cost of thhe 90.00 new calculator or 45.00$ used calculator.

Thanks for the insight, I was thinking along the same lines too, Also I teach in a school of that is located in very poor area and I wonder how do they do their math with out a calculator, Some of them cant even afford regular school supplies.

So what company do you work for, Phil? Check out wikipedia.org, mathworld.com, ocw.mit.edu, math.com, calculus.org blah blah blah…

And don’t get me started on “studies”. They’re usually written for the benefit of the people who funded and produced them.

I’m not sure the workaround would not have worked- but you do the math and act accordingly.

You have variables your daughter can have advantage of – pay it forward. She leaves everything better where she can.

Best wishes to your family in surmounting them. It sounds like your daughter already has independence and drive, further developing those skills should serve her well.
In terms of these sorts of decisions, I believe that the best one my husband and I made was at an earlier stage, removing them from the local one size fits all philosophy public elementary school, and enrolling them in a public school in Boulder, CO that allowed the acceleration of the math program, had an active science program, and more importantly, didn’t treat advanced students as odd and exceptional. Like some above, we found high school IB to be an excellent program. The group of students interacting together as peers was part of what made this program special. It is a ridged program though. Math for example, didn’t (at least at that time) cover calculus at an analogous to AP manner, (it did add statistics) and there was no way to take the senior year program earlier. v we supplemented this with an online Calculus programhttp://asoutreach.okstate.edu/registration/calculus.htm Junior year. It isn’t for everyone, some advanced students with more specific interests may not be as willing to go along with the breadth. Despite an emphasis on breadth in IB, we always had a difficult time fitting such things as orchestra in. In fact, one offspring didn’t get the actual IB degree, having substituted a senior year AP English for the IB version to make the schedule work. I’d point out to other parents that that didn’t seem to matter to colleges and Universities at all. Might have even helped, as a demonstration of initiative.

It is hard to balance ones desire for the best for ones own children, with a desire to live in a society that provides equal opportunity for all. I’ve always tried to be quite involved in local school district issues, and support . I also have been active on curriculum committees and such in an effort to improve programs. With election season coming up I’d point out that local school board elections, funding levies and state boards of education all are quite significant, and frequently are targeted by those with agendas that do not involve support of quality science education.

Life would be easier if the consequences of decisions were a lot more black and white :-) (but not as interesting…)

But I agree – the variability here is huge. If we had stayed in Virginia, my son would have had the chance to apply to Thomas Jefferson High School – a public school, but the top rated one in the country as far as science and math go. Having looked around the school, I would have been thrilled for him to go there – although the school has problems at the other end of the spectrum, where it caters for over-achievers in STEM.

I agree btw that the wonder of science can be inspired with remarkably little investment in fancy equipment.

Was it the right decision?
Like you my with science education in the US and UK, we too feel that our decision was a good one. But do have some hesitations, the main two are with acceptable behaviour in a classroom and school lunches. Japan remains the best in terms of these two matters. Also, developing a community spirit is what Japanese schools excell at. So, if our daughter wanted to return to the country where she and her mother were born, I aid have no hesitation in allowing her to.
I wonder how science education in Australia and Japan compare to that of the US and the UK? Both my wife and I have science based careers here in Canberra, Australia.
We wish your daughter every success.

The UK comes in 9th.

For ranking of Nobel Prizes per capita, the UK comes out better, at #9 vs the US’s #15. However, it should be noted that the top two rank positions belongs to the small Island nations of Faroe Islands (between Scotland and Iceland) and Saint Lucia (which is afro-carribean).
