Absolutely not. I am a proponent of a liberal arts education. I believe that as citizens of the world, we should be versed in all subjects. Also, I'm against homogenous classrooms, so I feel them same for schools. Time and time again, I see the benefit of having students with different strengths in the same class. They learn from one another. While it is important that our children become proficient in math and science, I agree with darden, their writing skills suffer. Even if you are in the sciences, you need to know how to write.
