“There is a great deal of concern schools are not doing enough to prepare our children to navigate a future that is dominated by technology. To address that concern, districts across the country are turning their attention to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education, working diligently to add more STEM courses and more rigor. Unfortunately, many of these efforts are based on myths. Of these myths, four are common. The first is that the science and math that underpins today’s society is different from what it was just a few years ago. It is natural to assume science and math now are different because so much has changed, but that assumption would be wrong.”(more)
