This book embodies the vision of a group of concerned science educators, scientists, and cultural studies scholars who initiate a conversation with policymakers and other stakeholders in the educational process about what schools are for. We are calling for serious attention to generations of youth who accept responsibility: responsibility for cultural and community integrity, environment, and the ways in which they will become part of the cultural norms. We are calling for youth who demonstrate that they are responsible without equating responsibility to “grades,” intelligence quotient, or socioeconomic status. Responsibility will be embodied by the community differently depending on where we live; however, the idea of accepting responsibility with and for is a profound notion.
