[quote=Anonymous]A big issue with LC's Writers Workshop is that most often the teachers are told they are NOT ALLOWED to correct students' spelling or grammar. LC said that correcting student's writing prevented the students (k-3rd graders, not HS students) from "thinking big thoughts." Many schools switched to a different writing/spelling/grammar curriculum at 4th grade. Then grammar and spelling would start to be corrected by teachers. In the mean time, the incorrect spelling and incorrect grammar were ingrained 3-year old habits. Thus, it was harder for the student to unlearn incorrect and learn correct spelling and grammar - compared with correcting both grammar and spelling all along from K - 3rd grade. Sigh. [/quote]
