He is right about science being the dominant feature in our lives, I do disagree that students tend to put off science at school, they remember what they learned in their youth and have no kept up with the new discoveries. Science is not static, what was known as the ultimate discovery even ten years ago, is outdated or altered in the present

I'm a teacher and a biologist and I can agree that there is not enough science taught in schools. Unless a teacher is interested in science themselves, there is only a basic book teaching of it.

Parents would request me for their elementary kids because I taught reading, writing and math through science and science projects (along with everything else in the curriculum of course). Other teachers glossed over it.

In high school, kids can choose subjects that are not science-based these days, like photography (!) I'm amazed at how little people know about science, even about their own bodies.
