]]> Comment on SATs and Chilling Out, For Eff’s Sake by Simple Country Physicist http://www.educatednation.com/2011/11/05/sats-and-chilling-out-for-effs-sake/comment-page-1/#comment-167762 Simple Country Physicist Sun, 06 Nov 2011 13:22:14 +0000 http://www.educatednation.com/?p=2533#comment-167762 Similar experience, reverse conditions. I was told by teachers I had to take the SAT and ACT tests to apply for college but it was portrayed to me as nothing more than a formality, a ticket punch as it were. The most onerous parts of the experiences, which were only a couple of weeks apart, were getting pencils (I am a mechanical pencil guy,) and being cool for a hour or so after I finished the test and had checked it thrice. My little bubble of complacency got shattered a few weeks later when the scores came in and I found out how important they were from the frantic kids. Similar experience, reverse conditions.

]]> Comment on Michelle Obama Supports Girls in STEM Majors and Careers by Brian http://www.educatednation.com/2011/10/26/michelle-obama-supports-girls-in-stem-majors-and-careers/comment-page-1/#comment-167745 Brian Sun, 30 Oct 2011 16:40:38 +0000 http://www.educatednation.com/?p=2505#comment-167745 In my personal experience, it is FAR easier to go from math/science to the humanities than the other way around. Many people fear that students will never be able to do any humanities with the STEM program, but if they don't have the building blocks of science/math early on, they may never get them.
