(1,532 posts)Florida is one of the worst at it. The government here is horrendous at that, and I know quite a few people who have gone to Florida State, University of Florida, and UCF. I swear, you would have thought it was they like wanted to do things backwards. Heck, there are people in the federal government who want to halt funding to public schools. I mean, that does not make me feel confident that we will get very far. I get that in most high schools you get electives such as music, art, foreign language, etc. But even with the STEM part, how can we be confident that we will have students that when they graduate high school are really capable of it, particular the S and the T part, when you have people who want to push nonsense stuff in schools. I am not saying we don't have students that are capable of it, but when you have politicians trying to mess around with it, it doesn't give me much confidence. Look, I am not saying everything non-STEM is bad. For example, I took three years of Latin in high school. If you want to learn foreign languages and stuff, go for it, I think it would be a good thing.
