High School Grammar, Spelling, and Punctuation


My high school education centered on passing the TAKs test. The TAKs is an exam in Texas that judges how much a student learned throughout the year. Thusly, teachers began to teach strictly to passing the exam.  The writing section is all about writing to fulfill the prompt. This caused students at my high school to be taught more about structuring their writing rather than grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I am the worst at grammar. This is primarily due to the fact that they’re a so many different nuances in the English language. Before this class I had not realized how many mistakes I had been making.
