[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don't think the curriculum has been changed significantly,[/b] I just think there is a lot more "for completion" grading, peer feedback exercises rather than teachers reviewing assignments, and very little teacher feedback on writing assignments.

My English teachers in HS marked every grammar mistake in a paper (short or long) and you lost a .5 of a point for each mistake. They also provided feedback about structure and content.[/quote]

If you are old enough to have grammar mistakes marked, then the curriculum has changed dramatically since then.[/quote]

This.  MCPS teachers at our MS are not correcting grammar.  My kid has had grammar mistakes in her assignments and nobody is taking points off for it.  [/quote]

It became less relevant as a life skill with free grammar and spell check programs. Similar to cursive falling out of the curriculum. My two youngest learned cursive and diagramming sentences in private school, but not any computer skills. Guess which one of the three they use every day?[/quote]
Great point [/quote]
