Does anyone think that these days science on TV plays an inspirational role? 
 
Though I was already keen, my interest was pushed on leaps an bounds by an Horizon programme: Key to the Unverse (~30 years ago). My own children, who are not stupid and have general science in the conversation around them at home, have both been utterly uninspired by their science education (state, though 'nice', schools) and won't watch a serious science documentary for more than five mins.

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Science GCSE - a student's view

Michael West is a Year 11 student who wrote to me after reading an article I wrote about the Science Curriculum in The Times’ Eureka magazine (http://bit.ly/baz0G6). He has given me permission to reproduce the email here: http://bit.ly/cLmzkP

I wonder how many other students feel the same way?
