Quote of the day II

Mary Beard writing about A level myths:
It is better for the country if more kids take Science and Maths at A levels (according to Schools Minister Iain Wright). No -- not necessarily. Or only if they want to, and that is where their talents lie. In the long term (and even in the short term I suspect) kids well educated in any subject are good for the country's success and economy. Forcing them to science only produces unwilling and bad scientists.


Emphasis mine.
