Someone aware of how beneficial, on the whole, spiders are to humanity asks why there is such a disconnect between the threat posed by and reaction to spiders as opposed to the threat posed by and reaction to mosquitoes.

(Let’s ignore the Sydney Funnel Web, for the purposes of this discussion)

“Statistically speaking,” allowed Nik, “your species has more to fear from the Mosquito than it does any arachnid. Or pseudo-arachnid, for that matter.”

PREACH MOTHERFUCKING PREACH

Thank you for the STEAM reference, Adam!!

And you can thank JEB BUSH for Florida’s “teach for the test” educational system. 

All of this and more.

Teach teachers to recognise different ways of learning, and then to utilise that.

Teach school systems how to recognise more than one kind of intelligence.
