[quote=Anonymous]This was one on the man reasons I moved my child to Catholic school in 6th grade. After taking the placement test in his new school, he asked, “A verb is a person or place, right?” Gulp. Thankfully the school was used to getting clueless public school transfer kids. He’s in college now and tutors other students at the writing lab. He tells me how terrible the writing is when students come in. No idea how to construct a paragraph, what a thesis is, etc. Many have never written papers longer than a page or two let alone a research paper. Some can’t even construct a sentence because they still hang onto the idea that a sentence simply has a capital letter at the beginning and punctuation at the end. They don’t know that a sentence requires a subject and a predicate. [/quote]
