Try to read this sentence and pretend you've never learned anything about science or social studies:
Penicillin was discovered sixty-three years after the end of the US Civil War.

[/quote]

Knowing the significance of penicillin or the date the US Civil war ended is not going to do you much good if you can neither decode the words of that sentence nor do the math to draw a logical conclusion from it. Everything elementary school kids are taught about history, biology, civics, and the arts will be taught again, in greater depth, in middle and high school. Fat lot of good it will do them if they haven't been grounded in reading and math. It's called "putting the cart in front of the horse"....[/quote]

Are you suggesting that this fired principal's formula for raising reading scores should be adopted in DCPS?

It's times like this that I think the poster must be DCPS staff.  It's hard to believe a parent would think this was a good idea.[/quote]
