READ ME FIRST
So, basically, Bill Nye the Science Guy posted on his facebook page that he was there to answer (good) questions.
I posed one.
I asked him if he would consider building a curriculum for homeschoolers.
His response was surprisingly stacked against homeschoolers, basically asserting that homeschoolers will never be engineers because they don't work well in groups.
From there, the conversation devolved into a war of words.
Mr. Nye, since you claim that evidence will change your opinion, here is a list of homeschooled people. Perhaps you've heard of them?
George Washington Carver
Albert Einstein
Michael Faraday
Ada Lovelace
Joseph Priestley
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
...just to name a few.
Mr. Nye, your comment to me was ignorant and rather unscientific. I hope you will educate yourself soon. Some colleagues of mine plan to help you do just that. Good day, Science Guy.
