The Never Ending Cycle


                                  





Have we lost our way or finally found it"?Is a statement or further more a question, that I believe that all traditional college students ask themselves. Specifically when they receive their first class syllabus, your not 100% sure or not if this new way of learning. Will be a hit or miss for you until you expedience it fully!!  







After spending an hour one day a week in the writers studio ; observing college writers in the process of writing essays. I've came to realize that I wasn't the only one that could relate to fish's statement. During my observations I have observed many times, students receiving their graded work back. With the comments of  a lot of editing errors are lost points because of grammar. 

 Noticing this has gave me the persecution that students aren't : 

High school teachers aren't spending enough time with the basics 
of grammar because.Under the assumption that High School 
students should already have are if not close to, or already have mastered.Theses skills in middle school or previous education.






High School teachers did spend  time with their students on grammar. Not to
the point where they could fully grasp the concept 100% to its full potential.




Fish mentioned in his article."But if I have no problem with alternative ways of teaching literature or history, how can I maintain (with ACTA) that there is only one way to teach writing? Easy. I totally agree with Fish and his statement, yes there should be multiple ways of teaching that is best fit for each classroom body. Especially when it comes to English because there's so much personal work already involved. But at what point does it become detrimental to students ? Is it a lost cause ? Because High School teachers are able to edit and tick what they please with wide guide lanes !
