So, to summarize, the reason on the table against physics first is
that there are not enough qualified teachers.
And there are enough qualified teachers for biology. . . [or chemistry??]
You have got to be kidding. Biology is a much more complicated discipline
than physics. . . .[the same can be said of Chemistry]. . . Newton's
Big Three are a piece of cake compared to molecular biology . . [or
molecular chemistry]. . . that deals exclusively in things that are
too small to see and labs that are ridiculously non-intuitive.
Molecular biology spends its time talking about shapes of molecules
and there interactions in systems that are remarkably obtuse. Sit in
on a lecture on the cell membrane for a week. . . . . . . . . . . . .
