The difference between a great scientist and a mediocre one is often the environment they grew up in, i.e.: the education system.
Why are we totally wasting questionable teaching talent on creationism and debating this topic instead of funding/teaching great science programs? Why do we have teachers teaching subjects they should be sitting in a classroom learning (and not teaching)? Where has technology expertise gone in the USA and Canada!?
I see a huge gap between even an average science education and mediocre, let alone mediocre and inspired! If we can’t even provide a basic science understanding by the time someone graduates the public school system, we sure as heck are not going to get a chance to create great scientists and Engineers!!
