This is very true, especially in elementary grades. But now districts will be playing catch-up. Science is now a testable standard, see my posting about this http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/state-stem-education-u-s-13499.html. I'm sure in an effort to get scores up, they'll more than likely force feed alot of vocab and graphing exercises to kids -- making science boring and painful.
