“Teaching Biology to Kids Who Don’t Want to Learn Biology: A Short Reflection” by Grace Romanelli

In this piece, a secondary science teacher shares a short reflection on what her time in the classroom has taught her. Fellow teachers will find a relatable account, while non-teachers will gain some insight about what it’s like to teach a core subject to students who are utterly disenchanted.
