[quote=Anonymous]you should look into the schools that are teaching Hochman writing: http://greatergreatereducation.org/post/23659/how-a-writing-program-helped-daniel-and-other-struggling-middle-grade-dcps-students/ It's not just about grammar, but it does start at the sentence level and is a well-regarded writing curriculum. I really like grammar but didn't get a lot of it even decades ago at a well-regarded suburban charter school (one 8th grade teacher really focused on it, and it was then that I learned that some kids in my district had at some point been taught to diagram sentences--but it seemed to vary based on what individual teachers wanted to do). What really helped was getting involved in the school newspaper, where we were taught how to write and edit. Do any/most DC schools have newspapers?[/quote]
