[quote=Anonymous]to be honest op, I cane to this thread to insult you, but you may have a point. I just can't figure out what you are proposing would be better than reading novels and plays for teaching reading, reasoning, and writing skills. If you are a scientist you know that scientific papers are hardly quality prose, they are written in pure jargon, and the place to learn about how to interpret that jargon is science class, not English. Your laundry list names things that should be covered in other classes (history, medicine), social sciences most high schools don't bother with (econ, law), and stuff I have no idea what you mean ("industry"? "finances"?). [/quote]
