[quote=Anonymous]Bad writing is endemic in the US and in DCPS. I saw this slide from Anacostia HS and almost commented to correct it ("Teachers" instead of "teacher's", the second place it says "Clever" should read "Canvas", etc.) and then thought there was no point. I agree that you can be a good teacher without great writing skills in certain classes--not ELA, though. No matter what you teach, you do have to be able to get your point across. I would wait a little while longer. If your child enjoys the class and is learning writing skills elsewhere, let it go. If this is a class that is supposed to teach writing, or if it's at the point of interfering with your child's ability to learn the subject matter, then tell the principal and ask for the teacher either to proofread better/seek out supports for editing, or for your child to be moved to a different teacher.[/quote]
