At Gilmour Academy (private prep school) we are considering
changing to a more rigorous physics text for 11th grade high school
physics.

But where do your students get a broad view of nature and the
relationships found in nature.
I have had students taking calculus-based physics who didn't know
that stars (other than our sun) lie outside of the earth's orbit.

daytime - but had never caught them drinking fluid of
that color."
