You are not alone in this opinion. The idea that science should be taught
as a form of entertainment --not necessarily with any substantial content
nor accountability-- is the primary reason why I left the science teaching
profession 18 years ago. The old Mr. Wizard TV shows of the 1950s would be
considered dull by today's commercial entertainment-driven standards, but
they were highly informative-- and to me as a young boy--fascinating.
