Hm. Well our teachers have never talked about "opting out", our school is pretty pro project... and I'm only in middle school so yeah that might be part of it.

Yeah, I suppose. I really don't want to fail science though, I want to get a degree in animal behavior.

you wont fail, just stand up for yourself and dont let them blackmail you like that. you can learn perfectly well without resorting to animal exploitation, in fact at degree level bioethics is usually a module in animal-related courses

Oh well, I don't think my school would do that anyway, but I guess I could ask them about it. The project is over, but it's still worth looking into for future reference.

yea you should, or at least letting you know what you think about it. chances are, if thats an accepted thing in america, they havent given it a second thought as to their students opinions

Yeah, I agree with that. I don't know if this really relates to it or not, but I hate when we have to write about a subject we don't care about or something like that. We have physical education (bleh) and we have to take a stupid SOCCER TEST! When in my life would I have to know how to play soccer when I hate it?

LOL yeah, I hadn't thought about that Lewis. But, if you keep the horse in the stall with you while you are doing it you can share body heat with the horse. I'm glad we are back on topic LOL!
