[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes but [b]as a teacher, I don’t think the way it’s embedded in the curriculum works well[/b]. I don’t know how it’s even possible but I get kids in high school who still don’t know a noun = an object = subject of the sentence and verb = action = predicate. They REALLY struggle with *basic* grammar concepts so if you want to work on explicit instruction of that at home, it wouldn’t be a bad idea. [/quote]

NP.  As a parent, it doesn't work well for my kids either.

This seems like another new way of teaching that is a lot of work for the teacher but low results.

I hope the new changes to the curriculum described in this thread are effective instead of just more work that doesn't give results.[/quote]

I’m the teacher PP- now granted, I am in LCPS, but the curricula are not vastly different per VDOE. I found the grammar programs required for us to use so inadequate and ineffective that I simply refused to use them and started doing my own thing. I got some pushback but my data is solid. I refuse to use what isn’t working and will instead use what does work, even if I have to justify it to someone in admin. I’m so tired of districts purchasing programs or platforms we didn’t ask for, then demanding we use them “for the data” when they don’t do what we need them to do. [/quote]
