• Resumen

  • I recently became aware of a very intriguing video. The video contains a rather logical and convincing argument about the lack of modern physics in the American high school curriculum. As a high school physics teacher, I initially found myself defending the curriculum I currently teach. This is the curriculum I learned in high school. It is the curriculum that I love. Inertia is not only a physics principle, but it is very evident in education! I believe the points made in this video are very valid. I was convicted about my own lack of knowledge and competence in modern physics topics and felt I needed to make a personal decision. Am I going to be part of the problem or part of the solution? Check it out for yourself.
