You Graduate More Criminals Than Scientists.
Leyden, Michael B.
Science Teacher, v51 n3 p26-30 Mar 1984
Discusses the increasing failure of students to obtain bachelor's degrees in science education, considering five myths that science teachers use to justify their jobs in response to unreasonable demands for accountability. Stresses the importance of reorganizing education goals to reflect science as a real-world concern, not an endurance test. (BC)
