From the supplier: Traditional schoolroom grammar teaching should be discontinued. Children are wounded by the method and will not learn or need the training. Mechanics and usage should be taught in encouraging, nontechnical, innovative and gentle ways. Reform should include a definition of terms. Laypersons and educators should agree on what grammar involves. It should not include spelling, punctuaton or capitalization, which are mechanics of written language only.
