This is exactly why people don't trust science. Just because we can absorb oxygen through our intestines doesn't mean we can inhale through our ass. Science says one thing, reporters misinterpret it.
I said to some friends the other day, that if there is one thing that needs to come from this pandemic, it's mandatory science education throughout highschool. Some fuck stick thought it would be a good idea to end that education at grade 10 in Ontario. We need it until grade 12, with more focus on being able to understand what researchers are telling us. I proposed a project where students have to write a paper on a piece of news reporting what a study or scientists say, and explain why the news either got it wrong or is misleading the reader, and then write a news report themselves.

Really? We had 3 sciences, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, all 3 years. And 3 different math levels, all 3 years.
I guess Ontario just wants burger flipping drones. No need for higher education there.

We have a general science course until Grade 10. After that you can continue through highschool without taking another science class (grade 12 being the last year). There were optional Physics/chem/bio courses for grade 11 and 12.
Math is only mandatory until Grade 11, another change that should happen. Grade 12 allowed for more specialization such as Calculus, but no more math was required. Even just a general math class would be sufficient.
To peer into the soul of a sea cucumber, don’t look to its face; it doesn’t have one. Gently turn that blobby body around, and gaze deep into its marvelous, multifunctional anus.
The sea cucumber's posterior is so much more than an exit hole for digestive waste. It is also a makeshift mouth that gobbles up bits of algae; a faux lung, latticed with tubes that exchange gas with the surrounding water; and a weapon that, in the presence of danger, can launch a sticky, stringy web of internal organs to entangle predators. It can even, on occasion, be a home for shimmering pearlfish, which wriggle inside the bum when it billows open to breathe. It would not be inaccurate to describe a sea cucumber as an extraordinary anus that just so happens to have a body around it. As Rebecca Helm, a jellyfish biologist at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, told me, “It is just a really great butt.”
