[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course writing should be practiced frequently at school and feedback given by teachers... [b]but if you're seeing a lot of basic errors in your kid's writing[/b] why can't you spend a few minutes a week on it at home? As with any subject/topic they are struggling with? Correct the capitalization, punctuation, spacing, word choice, etc. and talk it through with them a few times and their writing will improve. School is not a magic wand to make every kid an expert in everything at once. [/quote] That’s the thing. We don’t see it. Or at least some of us don’t. My kid never brings home any writing. I only know she gets 2s on her report card. And get tutor shows me examples. My kid’s teacher doesn’t send home writing worksheets so it’s hard to correct anything. Anyway. That’s just us. [/quote]
