[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child went through OA and now, in high school, is finding gaping holes in Spanish grammar and English spelling. There needs to be more focus on these areas, starting in middle school.[/quote] +1000 Non-native Spanish speaker here who worked long and hard to gain a fairly deep understanding of Spanish grammar and syntax. I find the writing of some of the MS students surprisingly poor. There seems to be an idea that kids will magically absorb grammar from the couple of hours of Spanish verbal instruction per day, with no instruction of the Spanish language. For a school that talks about graduating biliterate students, it's surprising that they don't see that kids need to be taught language.[/quote]
