[quote=Anonymous]Some schools stopped teaching "how to write a paper" at some point. Was DC explicitly taught this? If not, that might be part of the problem. Other schools still teach kids the process: sentence outline for the paper, introductory paragraph, supporting paragraphs with references, how to cite references, concluding paragraph, and so on. Our school, which is filled with average kids, starts teaching writing papers in 2nd grade - where the goal is for the student simply to write 3 correct sentences on the same topic. They gradually ratchet up expectations, so that by 6th grade kids have to write a 3 page paper using the process outlined above. [/quote]
