[quote=Anonymous]I think there's a lot of non-fiction reading in other classes. English class did contain biographies, newspaper articles both fact and opinion, and similar non-fiction pieces, but I'm not sure it's the place for reading about cells when you already have a biology class with required and optional reading. In elementary the kids sometimes read a fiction and non fiction book on similar subjects, but I'm not sure if high school classes could work this way. Freshman year about 20 years ago I took a basic English class in FCPS and felt like I was back in 6th grade. Luckily the honor and AP classes moved much faster and were taught with more depth. If the general ed classes are still this bad, the teacher doesn't have time to focus on anything other than literature.[/quote]
