[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forget the reading - they can do it at home. The kids need grammar, spelling & basic writing. The "norms" are horrible - 6th grade Advanced English kids are routinely making mistakes with punctuation.[/quote] Because they aren't taught that in elementary school EVER! No grammar, no diagraming sentences, no punctuation. No vocabulary. Only spelling which ironically is the least important later in school since there is spell check. English should be ALL grammar and vocab with writing skills. Reading should be ALL reading, comprehension with added writen papers to prove comprehension and reiterate English skills. [/quote]
