[/quote] Teachers do this incidentally. Testing it is another issue. [b]This is something developed over time.[/b] When do you want the teachers to teach punctuation and grammar? Or, maybe you don't think those matter.[/quote] What time? By when should we expect a student to be able to do this? When would it be appropriate for to test a student on their ability to do this? And no, teachers don't do this incidentally. They actually do it explicitly, starting in first grade (in my experience).[/quote] Punctuation, grammar AND author's purpose for writing should all be taught in 3rd grade.[/quote]
