Diana, reading this post, I was also thinking about the way you may get better writing from the students. Have you tried to group them in small (3-5 students) to read over each other’s papers and comment on them? You wouldn’t necessarily need to do it in class, but that MIGHT help some of them learn that they need to be more aware of what they are actually writing.

Diana, I think the problem really starts in the lower grades. Teachers who are in the classroom because they want to TEACH are not the norm, now; they are glorified “baby sitters” to their students. Until the entire teaching profession goes “back to the basics” there will be no change for the better. I would guess that you are in the large minority in the way you think, teach, and interact with their students. Keep up the good work! My hat is off to you!!!
