Case analysis: The basal reader story for Ms. Merritt's group was about a child who was frightened by a cow. Ms. Merritt's class lived in an inner-city area in large multifamily dwellings. Few students had ever been more than a few blocks from home. Most of the students appeared not to understand the story. Ms. Merritt attributed this to their inattention and lack of cooperation.
