Read the passage and answer the question. School gardens are often described as a fun "extra," but I think they should be treated as part of science education. Students learn about ecosystems, soil, and nutrition by observing real organisms over time. Some critics argue that gardens are expensive to maintain and take time away from tested subjects. They also point to schools where gardens became overgrown after a few enthusiastic teachers left. Those examples show that gardens can fail when they rely on a single person. But that is an argument for better planning, not for giving up. If a garden is tied to multiple classes, supported by a small budget line, and maintained through rotating student teams, it becomes sustainable. In districts that partnered with local farms or community volunteers, gardens were maintained even when staff changed. A well-designed garden doesn't replace science; it is science, made visible. Which opposing viewpoint does the author acknowledge in the passage?
