Comment wrong way to promote the sciences (Score 1) 766
I'm not trying to say this is a bad idea, but I feel this is the wrong way to go about it. Not everyone makes a good teacher just because they know the material. The problem here is that while there would me more teachers, there would be more teachers who don't want or care to teach, they're just doing it for the free ride on tuition. And I know from personal experience that bad teachers certainly don't inspire their students to peruse the fields they teach. On a different note, being a music major I feel slightly insulted, as if ideas such as this are saying that the sciences are more valuable than the arts. I believe that both science and arts are vital for a society progressing.
