[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is in 7th grade and writes very well. I have no complaints. My son, who's in 2nd, has brought home some impressive classwork that reinforces narrative and expository writing skills. We are not in a W cluster. To the Catholic school poster - 19:31 - we pulled our daughter from Catholic b/c they emphasized rote learning. She never brought home graphic organizers and therefore didn't understand how to structure her writing. I tried, but kids often don't listen to their parents. (And both my husband and I are English teachers - although we are both in different positions now.) This isn't to crush Catholic ed. Perhaps our school wasn't the best. But by comparison, the instruction at our public schools is much more rigorous. So it could be many things - a learning issue or low expectations at a W school or just a bad mix of teachers. I would suggest a tutor. If that doesn't work out, have her tested - but go the private route. [/quote]
