[quote=Anonymous] [Up] Anonymous [quote][b]Just keep marking off all their misspellings, grammar issues, punctuation issues. That's how kids learn[/b]. Remind them that many people will in fact judge you for your spelling and grammar and punctuation, even on Twitter and Facebook. (my educated friends certainly do.) I know it must be really frustrating for you, but you have an opportunity to make a real impact. We had a soccer ref over the weekend who made the games into teaching moments. He was very patient with the kids, thoroughly explained each call, had them redo any throw-ins or other things that didn't go right the first time. We got a little impatient (the games ran long) but I think the kids really learned from him. [/quote] No, it isn't. You have to make them correct the work themselves. Otherwise, they won't learn a thing. [/quote]
