Any kid can be taught to speak and write properly. Tell them to use the word "Tree" in a sentence. He can write...."The tree is tall". HOW does knowing tree is a Noun matter? I recall learning to write basic sentences like...."See Jack run." in 1st grade. All of the Noun, Adverb, Verb etc stuff came later. Personally, I found it absolutely useless. What makes kids fat dumb and happy is loading their heads with useless info that has no real practicality. Teach kids to speak properly, write and punctuate. Math should be basics.....Figuring interest rates added to loans.......Using a ruler........Map
PROPER Grammar should be encouraged / enforced in life.......... Look at the opening to ESPN's Pregame on Sundays....."We ready"????
In general get back to the BASICS. I'm STILL waiting on Literature to make my life better or pay my bills.
