ENTS, The Germans have a wonderful idea.
I remember when I was in school. Concerning science. In grade school it was hands on and intimate falling to text books and reports as I went into high school. Regardless, I did well in science but many kids interest in science waned as this happened. A teacher can really make a difference here in the way a subject is presented. It can make a difference in a good grade and a failing one.
