It's easy to agree with the sentiments in the first half of the article about how biology is taught uninspiringly. However, I can't help noticing that the biology student in the article evidently became a computer programmer later in life (I followed the same track), and probably is paid more than the biology teachers of their teenage years. So it's a bit uncomfortable to see them sniping at their former biology teachers from their position later in life. As with many conversations on such subjects, it feels that it's going to end up at "teachers aren't paid enough".
