The process ofidentifying misconceptions, creating curricula to address those misconceptions and then evaluatingthe efficacy of instruction has been applied to many areas of physics 2, perhaps nowhere moresuccessfully than mechanics. In that arena, many well-validated and established instruments exist,including the Mechanics Baseline Test 3, Test of Understanding Graphics in Kinematics (TUG-K)4 Page 24.34.2and the Force Concept Inventory5 to name but a few.

Our scientistslose the opportunity in their youth of playfully exploring strategies and developing the enquiringattitude that a technical society requires. This system of memorization is disastrous.The thrust to accelerate math education provides another opportunity for disaster. Why shouldparents take the chance that their children will obtain a better introduction to calculus in K-12than will be provided in a college calculus course? If the only consideration is that the studentswill be memorizing a more advanced subject, then it may make no difference. What is
