[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am finally thrilled this year (4th grade). The teacher is very old school and experienced, and happens to have been an English major. All the basic fundamentals are finally being covered. Grammar, spelling, reading comprehension, proof reading...[/quote] How old is the teacher? My worry is that this kind of teacher (old school, traditional, love of English) is dying out. Most teachers teaching K-5 right now were going through college or getting their ED degree in the Balanced Literacy / Workshop + EdTech way of teaching, not grammar, spelling, reading actual books kind of teaching.[/quote] You are right. She is probably mid to late 50s. My kid has generally had younger teachers up until now, and this is the first time he has had this type of direct instruction. Everyone else just seemed to phone it in. [/quote]what does ‘phone it in’ mean?[/quote] https://grammarist.com/idiom/phone-it-in/[/quote]
