Case: "Grammar should not be graded in social studies!"
I have a parent who does not agree with how I grade my students assignments. I currently teach social studies and the parent thinks it is wrong to count off on spelling and grammar. The parent thinks that essays and written responses should only be graded based on content. What would you say to the parent? Do you think grading for spelling and grammar in all subject areas is important?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
While i believe that we should emphasize the use of correct grammar across the curriculum, I don't believe that you should weight it heavily in all the other subjects. Social Studies is more geared toward assessing for understanding of the facts learned. While you should continue to highlight the grammatical errors to improve communication, the student need to understand what is the focus, and become afraid to expressing themselves for fear of making mistakes. |

| Comments: This solution is accurate in that it should not be the core focus, but it does not need simply highlighted for mistakes. There needs to be some deduction of the grade, because it will teach them that even in subjects outside of english that spelling and grammar matter. After it is from their mistakes that they learn how to fix what they have done wrong. |
