[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a reason FCPS does not teach grammar in elementary? Is this a science-based decision? I ask as someone who never explicitly learned grammar but somehow learned to write at an advanced level. I'm not knocking grammar instruction but I wonder if it is really necessary if children are actually spending a lot of time reading and learning implicitly (which children are very adept at doing). [/quote] Not everyone learns grammar implicitly to a high enough degree, ime at a top law school. [/quote] Ok, but that might be because they didn't get enough input (reading). Do not tell me you think some people are "explicit learners" and some are "implicit learners". That would be as wrong-headed as "learning styles". The brain is wired for implicit learning, given good input. [/quote] One of the people I am thinking of definitely read far, far more than average. [/quote]
