[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the district but spelling using weekly spelling lists is not typical anymore. Grammar, if it is taught at all, is taught as it comes up in the curriculum. I went to Catholic school and was taught grammar separately. It was a subject like spelling. We had separate books for grammar, spelling, phonics, math, science, and social studies. Handwriting was also taught and graded. Some districts do teach phonics and some claim they do but they teach BS reading "strategies" instead. I diagrammed sentences for my entire 8th-grade year. I doubt it is done in public school anymore unless it is something individual teachers decide to do on their own. We had to diagram sentences in composition notebooks for homework.[/quote]
