[quote=Anonymous]I have to agree with OP. There are a lot of children going into Middle school that do not know how to write a proper essay. The issue with 2.0 is they aligned the writing assignments with science or social studies topics. So in addition to learning the structure of writing, they also have to research and learn the content. It is a great skill, you need to know how to research properly, but first the kids need to know how to write. It is difficult when the kids are writing essays when they don't understand their research. It is hard for them to then focus on the mechanics. [/quote]
