[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Current public school does not teach on sentence structure, phonics, punctuation,  tenses and etc. Good thing that DC had a great foundation at early ages when he went to private preK and K program. Teachers do not grade his homework, and everything is just wonderful.  He is mad that when I point out his poor handwriting, misspelling, tenses, grammar and punctuation etc from the worksheets that he brings home.. Well, do you have other positive/ better way to let kid know what could be improved on writing without making him/her mad?

Those skills improve every year.  Spelling will get better, tenses will get better, punctuation, all that will get better.   It’s the content at this young age that matters.  Can he write about the story he just read.  Can he write his own creative short story.

At the same time they are teaching these skills.   They teach punctuation in first grade.  That doesn’t mean that the child gets it right every time.   They will soon enough.  Maybe they teach adjectives the next year and incorporate those in their writing.

I would ask the teacher why he doesn’t point out the errors so the student will eventually remember every time.

But I wouldn’t harp on these things when he gets home after a long day.  Don’t expect more than he’s able to do at this stage.   He’ll eventually hate school if you’re unreasonable and obsessive over every mistake he makes.  Do you ever compliment his work?[/quote]

Instead put up a stupid yellow face why don’t you explain what you think.

One thing I noticed is when these kids are saying the teachers don’t care no one is getting the second side of the story from the adult, the teacher.  [/quote]
