Reflections on K-12 science education

Today I’m participating in a panel on K-12 education, hosted by the National Association of Scholars.


You can watch the event on youtube. The even is launching a new document called the Franklin Standards on K-12 education, which are available online link

JC’s remarks

Hello everyone.  I appreciate the opportunity to participate in this panel.

Let me start off by saying that I would be delighted to teach freshman college students that had been taught the content that Franklin proposes.

I strongly endorse Franklin’s recommendations on teaching Scientific Inquiry, History of Science, and Engineering and Technology.

I also abhor the creep of activism and equity into the K-12 curriculum.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
