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!) I believe while all subjects should be integrated, one should have more importance than the other depending on the lesson. For instance, with history, content should be extremely important. While correct spelling and proper grammar is expected, it may not count for a large amount of the grade.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is a good solution. It should be marked off, but not for an extremely large amount. Just enough that the students will care about it for the next assignment and maybe be more careful.
