Mulroy

After reading Mulroy, I tend to agree and disagree with certain things. For instance, I agree with Amanda Dill's point that grammar is not something that you can just teach a kid in the 6th grade and expect them to retain that knowledge because by the time they reach college, numerous words, phrases, contexts, and rules will have changed.

Also that in some ways grammar is just too obtusive to the writing process. While grammar is important it does tend to get in the way sometimes. I don't think however, that it is so unimportant that it should be removed from the corriculum altogether. But methods need to be tweaked to place more emphasis on writing rather than learning for learnings sake.
