Many readers of Eos are involved with education. Most would agree that what happens at precollege levels will ultimately affect the geoscience profession; after all, future scientists are today's precollege students. While a growing number of scientists are working to improve the quality of precollege programs, only a few are addressing what we term the “hidden” threats to science education. Hidden threats have nothing to do with scientific content; rather, they result from social, political, and bureaucratic forces operating within and outside of schools and universities.
