Oh and lesson one in high school science should be about the difference between a Hypothesis and a Theory, and they should not be allowed to leave until they have committed it to memory.

J/K, that's harsh. But I do think that schools should emphasise science as an important subject. (Not saying they don't already, but y'know). One of the problems we have in Britain is a lack of scientists, especially Physicists from what I understand. We need to get the kids who are leaving school now to pursue further education or a vocation in science.

The problem is some technical universities in Europe have to bride students into enrolling into them by giving free laptops for example becouse people are lazy so the prefer easier humanistic/sociological studies.

I wouldn't say people were lazy or those fields are easier.

They're simply more desireable because they are held in higher regard.

I actually find "hard" sciences eaiser, because they have definite right and wrong answers.  While social sciences force you to think more broadly and not only be right... but be able to give reasons why your right and the right reasons.  You have to think a certain way rather then learn a certain formula.
