in the article, it talks about how people find grammar errors to be annoying but they don't know why it bothers them so much. people see the errors but really don't know how to fix them. writing is something that is effected by all not just young people or students. many kids drop out of school due to the fact that they cannot keep up the writing assignments they may get in class due to their poor writing skills. they are trying to find a way to get writing and grammar across to students in different ways. there 11 recommendations to help a student with low writing skills to get better.
in my opinion teaching students different ways to learn grammar or writing skills will help more students learn to pick it up in their own ways. it will help students make better impressions on the people they will met when they get older if they have a sense of grammar. so when they are applying for a job they are better represented.

War agaisnt grammar
the first chaper first out with Mulroy starts out with how little adults and students know very little about grammar. He believes that with poeples knowledge our graamar had led to lower SAT scores, which brought around the need for zero level english courses. Mulroy also believes that learning a foriegn has become harder since grammar wasnt not taught at grade levels. He doesnt believe that the students are to blame for their lack of proper grammar. he is kinda putting the blame on the teachers for not teaching grammar.
i believe that grammar is very important and the sooner you learn and understand it. But grammar is not taught as well as it could be. i dont remember a grammar class after the fifth grade. it is something that needs to continued to be taught and not just in grade school settings with deeper studying. so we dont need lower graamar or english courses as we get older.
