When I started high school the curriculum still started out with a year of general science.

Upper school students are required to take a minimum of three years of natural science.

"If they're not fired up about that first year of science, why would they take it again?"

Three years of science is strongly suggested, and one year art.

So you rely on years of basic science that is done at the university.

I had almost a thousand years of history, science and invention to catch up on.

This is not a controversial claim but an established fact, based on more than 20 years of solid science.

Students are required to take more credits, including four years of a foreign language, math, science and English.

Fifty years of social science have decried what that old order did to human beings.

In my opinion, we are to the point where 4 years of science should be required in every high school.
