[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not in MCPS but these complaints are the reason my son now goes to a Catholic MS. Now he is getting his butt kicked since he is behind in all 3 of these areas but he is learning. I am a teacher and have the same issues with my own students. By 4th and 5th grade, a student should be able to explain why the "sentence" [b]they wrote, "In the car." is not a sentence. None of them could explain why it is not a sentence. "But it has a capital letter and a period!" [/b]Yeah, nope. Very sad indeed. When admin comes in and sees me teaching the basics, they are not happy. They like the "higher level thinking skills" but the kids don't even have the basics. Sad.[/quote]

OH man. [/quote]

This really resonates with me!

When DC was in 4th grade, I realized that was true.  She couldn’t identify why that was not a sentence!  Huge wake up call to get my butt in gear and teach the poor kid some grammar.  [/quote]

"In a car." is a sentence. What it isn't, is a complete sentence.[/quote]
