I don't know what they teach during physics classes in your neck of the woods... but around here, no, it most certainly does not.

Space was covered for me in earth science, which was a few months worth.  Then again, southern new england focuses pretty heavy on the sciences, you won't pass or you may barely pass if you don't properly understand basic astronomy and evolution/biology at my local schools.  Depends on where you live

Astronomy should be required for highschool graduation.

Hell no. Why should I give part of my hard earned check just to have some nutjob read my Palms or tell me my future.

Public education funding in general should be significantly increased.

Does astronomy deserve special attention over other subjects? No.

This is probably the first thread I have created in years on this site. Like the title says, do you think Astronomy needs more focus during high school? Like more optional electives, required cource cirruclium, ect.? I have a petiton on the White House page that I just started, not that I think that matters at all but I thought it would be neat to see how many people argee with me on this issue ha. I'm just curious to see what kind of discussion this would create, as I probably think its a much more important issue than many other people.  

EDIT: I don't think the link is working so ill put it here too https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/increase-funding-astronomy-education-increased-focus-curriculum-requiredelective-courses-public-high/RPCnfPjS?utm_source=wh.gov&utm_medium=shorturl&utm_campaign=shorturl

i wish more people would troll trolls instead of being lame and pointing it outZumaJones07
