[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our entire lives are made up of social context.  "Let's not open up Pandora's box," one coworker says to another.  "Yes, that would lead to a Titanic Disaster." says another.  "Et Tu, Freddie?" says another.  Social studies and history bring context to conversations.  Without it, much of basic reading comprehension goes out the window.

Trust me, I used to supervise folks who were taught "basic" reading and writing and very little social studies or history.  Their comprehension was abysmal.[/quote]

Your sentences are coherent, so maybe you're not the word salad poster, but I still can't tell what you mean.[/quote]

What she's saying is that is it counterproductive to cut social studies, history and science in order to make room for more reading instruction strategies and test prep. Teaching content IS teaching reading.

Yes, that is what I was saying -- NOT the word salad poster, but I do like a good chicken Caesar now and then :-)[/quote]
