[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS is not teaching writing. Accept that and either teach them yourself or hire a tutor. Or do one of the weekly AoPS Language Arts class. Complaining will get you nowhere and your time will be better spent focusing on enriching your own child. Hard truths. [/quote] If you want to teach writing at home and address many of the concerns raised in this thread, look into the Michael Clay Thompson language arts curriculum. It systematically teaches writing and grammar at the sentence, paragraph, essay, and beyond levels. I have one kid completing the the sentence level (the "Island" level) and the other the paragraph level (the "Town") level this year and have been very satisfied. You can integrate it with other materials.[/quote]
