[quote=Anonymous]Mine is a good writer because I switched him from a top rated public ES to a Catholic MS. The straight As went away immediately. It took 2-3 yrs for him to be taught proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, etc. His teachers wouldn't accept his lame attempts and made him rewrite nearly everything. They were liberal with a red pen. They would literally go through simple paragraphs with a red pen and make him rewrite it on the spot until it met their standards. Once he got it through his head that he couldn't hand in the same crap he did in public school, he started caring about his work. Lots of 5 page papers in 8th-9th grade and he learned the formula.[/quote]
