"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."
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.
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...
In college animal physiology class, every week for lab we had to double pith a live frog and dissect it. After about 3 or 4 weeks, everyone hated it. Someone complained to higher ups and it stopped. I admit that some of the experiments seemed pointless. The intended principles could have been demonstrated in other ways. In industry, companies are moving away from animal testing.
Should teach dissecting a chicken. Send it over to home ec for lunch prep.
When I was in high school we dissected cats.
We dissected a frog and a beef heart.
Of course, when I told my parents, they heard bee fart.
You can only imagine the endless jokes...
