"I guess it all started in high school where I was a very bad science student. One day, when we were supposed to be dissecting a frog, I accidently disassembled my desk."

In an era where technology has revolutionized the way we learn and explore the natural world, the age-old practice of dissecting frogs in schools has sparked a heated debate. For decades, this hands-on approach has been a staple in biology classrooms, providing students with a firsthand understanding of anatomy and physiology.
However, as ethical concerns and technological advancements emerge, the question arises: do schools still dissect frogs?
If you’re short on time, here’s a quick answer to your question: While some schools have phased out frog dissection due to ethical and environmental concerns, many educational institutions still incorporate this practice into their biology curricula, often providing alternatives for students who object to the procedure

Today I guess modern biology teachers ask if the frog is trans.
In biology class the day came for us to spend a week dissecting fetal pigs. It was in the 1980’s and my lab partner was a punk rocker with a mohawk. In minutes, he mangled our pig and the teacher just patted me on the shoulder because he knew I was a good student and my partner was a moron.
Now they dissect kids.
You're right there. We dissected worms, chicks and a cat. The first two were fresh. The cat came in formaldehyde from a science supply house.
I was never that good with my hands. It looked pretty pathetic.
We did earthworm, starfish and frog.
I do not see why students who object to the procedure get out of dissecting frogs. People need to learn to perform tasks they do not like. I only had worms and frogs in my basic biology class. I am glad I did not take the advanced course, which dissected cats. I could not have entered the health field.
Why can’t we dissect leftists? They aren’t really human.
They did when I was in 7th grade in 1992.
In the 2010s my son took a summer school class in dissection. He was so fascinated, he ended up becoming a biology major.
Sometimes there is no replacing hands-on experience.
We did a worm, frog, pig, turtle, and a clam. In college we dissected a cow’s eyeball. I hated every minute of it, but I think the person was on point with stating sometimes we have to learn to do things that we do not like to do.
Because of dissecting a fetal pig poorly, I learned that I should not try being a surgeon. Teacher freaked out. Apparently he was the sort who believed “everyone can do everything”. But neuropathy doesn’t go away by wishing.
Their brains are poisoned and potentially lethal.
Obly if they have orange faces. -}
Many years ago I went to a parents teachers night. When in the biology class I asked when will they be dissecting this year. The teacher announced that dissection went out with disco.
As we (meaning me) got more into it, the girls bent their heads closer to the tray to see better. Just when I thought I was getting the hang of it, I accidently dislodged a piece of some tiny organ with the probe and it flew up and hit the pretty blond cheerleader across from me right in the eye and it just stuck there. She was a good sport about it, but the next day she was on someone else's team.
they graduated to dissecting students genitals...
