[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are supplements I had considered but never implemented due to lack of time.  I loved the idea of teaching grammar as a tool for better/easier writing I know DC's progressive school will never teach it explicitly.

I’m the PP who was frustrated with MCPS. I’m surprised your progressive doesn’t teach this.  We pulled our son out and sent him to a progressive school for middle. We had no expectation that they could improve his writing since they don’t provide intervention for LD. We did it more because MCPS had been such a soul crushing experience for our once inquisitive kid. The progressive DID teach grammar and punctuation explicitly. I couldn’t believe the difference in his writing after the first year and by the end of 8th the progress was undeniable. He’s in MCPS HS now and doing so much better.  While he will always struggle to write without any grammar, spelling and punctuation errors, he makes significantly fewer of them and actually enjoys writing. [/quote]
