On her blog, [info]anghara moans about the state of American education because some students didn’t live up to the standards that were around when she was a girl.
There are other high school students, of course. Take these science fair winners for example:
Wolf, a 16-year-old from Allentown, PA, won for her project, "Sleuthing Epicenter Direction from Seismites, Cretaceous Wahweap Formation, Cockscomb Area, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah."
Madhavi Gavini, 16, from Columbus, MS, snagged a scholarship for her "Engineering of a Novel Inhibitor of Biofilm-Encapsulated Pathogens."
John Pease Moore, IV, 18 of Miamisburg, OH, won for his project on, "Development of Fixed and Flapping-wing Surveillance Micro Air Vehicles."
Mary Douglas, 17, and Alison Liu, 16, both from Manhasset High School, Manhasset, NY, received a top team project award for their project” "The Effects of CNS Stimulants and SSRIs on the Formation of Conditioned Long Term Memory and Learning Behaviors in Sleep Deprived Wildtype Drosophila melanogaster."
But then, we all get nostalgic for a past that never really existed.
