[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grammar and parts of speech are pretty easy to supplement with Khan Academy and Bee Star, if you are so inclined.

Yes, I will supplement, but that is not the point.  This is the most basic thing that the school should be able to do.[/quote]

I agree, OP.  Too many people are OK with this. Everyone needs to complain because this is the result: it's increases inequity in education.

It's not right! Yes, Catholic schools and private schools still teach parts of speech, grammar and technical aspects of wiring.  So those affluent kids are getting a good foundation.  Public schools across the country have phased this out, and children who need this foundation most are not getting it.

I can't understand for the life of me, how public schools would let this happen to our kids.

Just wanted to jump in and note that not every Catholic school does this. Just had a major b**** session with my sister and [b]they’re [/b]teaching method is exactly the same as our public. I think it depends on the age of the teachers. If their staff is mostly younger and has gotten a degree in Elementary Education, their degree has not taught them how to teach reading or writing. Period. Perhaps some schools force their teachers to learn how to do it the old way, but you need to do due diligence before just switching to a private school expecting a superior experience.

Also agree that the only kids thriving in this environment are the ones getting explicitly taught at home or tutored outside of school. Osmosis doesn’t work.[/quote]

Sorry, mean to write “their.” [/quote]
