Let’s Begin…
American high school Physics courses typically fail to address any modern topics in Physics--intriguing topics, like black holes and antimatter, and applications that play a huge role in our everyday lives, like GPS systems and lasers. Why don't these topics get covered in high school courses?
Excluding the "correct" answer in the last question, are any of the other three options mentioned valid reasons for "post-1865" topics not to be included in high school physics curricula? Pick one of the other three options and explain why it is valid or why it is not. Or, If you can think of your own reason, feel free to state it and explain it instead.
