Teaching Grammar in Context, by Constance Weaver Chapter 2 response

Wow what a difference from our other text. Instaead of bringing the student in and enveloping them iwth the possiblities of writing and expression, this text and this chapter to be exact was brutal. The whole chapter was on how teaching grammer did not enhance the writing process and how studdies that were being conducted since the 1930's dispelled the credibility of teaching grammer. Now I am not dispelling the findings of these studies or what this chapter is trying to get across. It is my oppijnon though that the wording and the dry tone of this chapter will prevent the student from understanding why the teaching of grammer is so contriveral. For me growing up in the 70 and early 80's, I struggled with grammer and identifying parts of a sentence, that  did in no way prevent me from enjoying the writing process. After reading the studdies and oppinions of the learned schoolars in this text, I still feel that there is some basis for teaching a foundation of grammer but not to the extent that we teach it. The writing process will continue to grow and fourish without the hammering in of nouns pronouns and adjectives.
