[quote=Anonymous]Agree this is a problem. But where are you in this? I was profoundly disgusted with the language arts in our FCPS Level IV school. So I spent time doing it myself: extra reading, extra writing, and extra grammar practice with my kid. It wasn't a lot, either. We did 15-30 min. several times a week and simple tasks. For example, reading books that DC was interested in. Reviewing and identifying parts of speech. Writing single paragraphs. And finally, giving worksheets with spelling/grammar mistakes for DC to identify and correct. When DC got to MS and HS, they were ahead of the crowd. And in college now, gets complimented by professors on vocabulary and writing ability. Until the system is fixed, you have to do it yourself. And it need to be cumbersome to do so. A little extra a few times/week.[/quote]
