True! And the left brain thinkers should be required to take classes in the arts and humanities as well. Bring back music, shop classes, home economics, theatre, classic literature, history, etc.

The purpose of a well rounded education is to expose a person to as much as possible and to develop an appreciation for the varying god given talents around them. Passing is not success and failure is not fatal. Both are essential.

I don’t think a person has learned anything until they’ve failed at least once at something. We learn more from our failures. It’s what you do after you’ve failed that truly measures a persons metal.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

They are. They sit in the same classes as those majoring in history, psychology, English ( etc,). But....The liberal arts majors take baby science courses. I'm not impressed.
