Hum, sounds like Socrates needs to revisit! Many elementary teachers do not know how to question. Teaching strategies is easier than forming deep questions. All of this then affects the reading responses that are given in writing. I agree also that a dialog about a subject goes from surface to deeper understanding as each party shares their ideas. I have also thought about how thinking strategies are taught one at a time and stay isolated, when in reality they are linked in a web. Finally, I firmly believe in the "consume, critique, produce" idea of moving children along in their education.
