[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an immigrant, and I learned English from my home country. They taught grammar, structured writing, and local/foreign teachers taught in English at ES/MS/High school. They did not teach phonics. My DH is from here. Would that be beneficial if I tried to teach my ES kids the way I learned English from home country to supplement them on writing and grammar? Like spend 15 mins a day? I think I will first to break down a sentence in different parts & tense. Make it worse or just do it?

My English is not as good as DH. [b]I find out that a lot of popular books that my kids read are not written in a correct grammatical way, including the ones teacher's recommendation. [/b]Teachers do not correct grammar and spelling, and kids told me that those are not important......because teachers do not mark them wrong. [/quote]

This is a huge problem and I see this with my kids.

MCPS wants the books to be more ‘accessible’ and offer diverse perspectives, which sometimes means that they are not written very well.[/quote]
