Should schools teach more on how to comprehend the context of what is read?

Do you wish schools taught more about comprehension and constructive thinking? It seem here and other Q&A people get off point of the question because they can’t constructively comprehend the question in the context of the question. For instance if some one were to ask why are American children so fat, some one else would surely come up with an accusation that that person was generalizing or that it was speculation or they want to see the stats. Like the context of the question could not be phantom by one unless it was spelled out to the point of being dumb downed. That people can’t contextualize that they were not speaking of EVERY AMERICAN CHILD but the group as a collective whole. If the question of why layers are so slimy and the text of the question leaned toward lawyers who draft class action suits to hose down businesses, or medicine makers etc, someone will bring defense lawyers into the mix when they were never a part of the spirit of the question. Do each and every word had to have the meaning in context explained for the question to be asked on its merits, or have we lost the ability to fill in some of the blanks with the context that it has to be dumb down like to a 4 year old? Is following a question’s context really that hard if every detail is not explained?
