"More young people shouldstudy Science", Hazel Wallace, a Science teacher from London, said at aconference for young scientists last weekend."

But there was bad news fromProfessor George Benson, a research scientist and university Science teacher,who was also at the conference." Science courses at university are verygood," he said, "but there's a real problem with Science teaching inschools. One in three people who teach Physics to 15-and 16-years-olds don'thave a physical degree. Not enough people are studying Science at universityand this means that there are not enough science teachers."

Mrs Wallace didn'tagree." It's true that the number of Science pupils fell between 2000 and2010."She said." But now the numbers are rising again. The number ofstudents who take Science subjects at school is much higher now than it wasfive years ago."

Professor Benson wascertain that numbers were still too low and added, "There's still aproblem with science lessons in schools. Most young people think that Scienceis boring or difficult or both. We have to find ways to interest 12-16 yearsolds in studying Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Old-fashioned teaching methodshave to change, We must spread the news that Science is very important, but itcan also be fun."

Homeschooling

What do most people remember about their school days? Playing with classmates during breaks, eating food in the dining hall, or going to the headmaster's office, perhaps. But 850, 000 teenagers in the United States don't experience these things, because they are homeschooled. They don't go to a regular school.

Their parents teach them. Their education takes place at home and in the community. What is it like to be home- schooled? Read Dylan's blog about his homeschooling experience.

MONDAY. July 10

I'm Dylan and I'm 14 years old. This is my third year of being homeschooled by my mom, a university professor(教授). A lot of people ask me how I feel about it. They ask, "Do you miss being in school with other kids?"

Well, my daily life is different from the daily lives of millions of children who go to regular schools, but I'm enjoying my time with my mom. I'm learning things at my own pace. We can go fast or slow. depending on the subject. These days, I'm reading books that most kids only read when they get to college. I'm studying French German, art, and the his tones of the world-things I'm very interested in.

A lot of kids think I never get to communicate with other kids, but that's not true. I get together with the other homeschooled kids during our weekly sports games and at social events. I don't just study at home. My mom takes me to all kinds of field trips-to museums, theaters, libraries and lots of other cool places. And college? I'm not worried about it. I know I'm preparing myself well for it.
