Ian,
Thanks for sharing this post. I do not interpret this as STEM pushing out social studies. It appears to be a lament against data driven approaches necessary to comply with the "No Child Left Behind" act. School funding rides on this data and pushes school administration to focus on the numbers, not teacher's needs.

I'm not a teacher. This is just my interpretation of this teacher's frustration.
