I'm surprised by Jeff Glauner's statement about teachers not having
textbooks. I don't know if Maryland is incorporating grammar into
academic standards, but CA is. All the major publishers have published
new K-12 textbooks with plenty of grammar in them, including booklets of
worksheets, 'daily language practice' error hunts, grammar manuals at
the back of the text, and sometimes units that teach and practice
grammar points. It's all traditional grammar, unfortunately, but it IS
there. I wonder if the publishers are marketing similar books to MD
schools. It would be worth checking out.

Of course, this doesn't address the problem of schools that can't afford
to get new books.

A lot of teachers I have talked to in CA say they use old grammar books,
so those are out there too. Where, I don't know, but it is another
possible source.
