[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grammar and parts of speech are pretty easy to supplement with Khan Academy and Bee Star, if you are so inclined.

Yes, I will supplement, but that is not the point.  This is the most basic thing that the school should be able to do.[/quote]

I agree, OP.  Too many people are OK with this. Everyone needs to complain because this is the result: it's increases inequity in education.

It's not right! Yes, Catholic schools and private schools still teach parts of speech, grammar and technical aspects of wiring.  So those affluent kids are getting a good foundation.  Public schools across the country have phased this out, and children who need this foundation most are not getting it.

I can't understand for the life of me, how public schools would let this happen to our kids.

We moved out of DC into a suburb in “flyover” country with great public schools.  I have 3 kids in elementary school and they teach writing, grammar and spelling daily.  In 2nd and 4th grades now with remote learning, they have writing, editing and grammar lessons practically daily.  [/quote]
