Great responses and love FrankC's visual.

Unfortunately he's at Politics' door and so is NASA and company.

His passion for the science is there and he's going to have to back it up with facts and proof as to why he feels the way he does.

From experience, it's not easy to prove anything to anyone while in High School and the teacher/s does make a difference. Along with the nit picking, High School teachers should be there to encourage.

His Political Science teacher gets an F, your HS friend gets a C or a B (since I didn't see his presentation.)

Thanks for sharing that Matt. Tell your young friend that he's not alone.
