High school kids these days can barely write a proper sentence of longer than 5 words. If you have the means (personally or financially), [u]teach your kids yourself or pay someone else[/u] (beginning informally) as early as Kindergarten or first grade. My kids have pretty much not gotten any actual meaningful grammar lessons up to and including high school at various APS schools. One previous high school English class the kids basically didn't read even one entire book from cover to cover. They read select chapters of a handful and watched a bunch (at least once a week) of "thematic" movies and shows that covered whatever theme they were working on. They barely had to write anything. And the teacher constantly made grammar and spelling mistakes that it's hard to blame the old "typo" much like an Hollywood actor can't say their Instagram account was hacked again. Another high school history class, more time was spent on coloring, making ppt slides, and designing fake social media pages than actually writing essays. It's the problem of having general ed classrooms inclusive of illiterate students.[/quote]

DP. I can honestly say we've had almost the exact same experience.[/quote]
