Does anyone have any thoughts on teaching the distinction between pronouns and possessive adjectives/determiners/pronouns to bright 7th graders? 
 
Is this a useful distinction to make? 
 
 Does it matter down the road? 
 
Is it better to treat them the same now and to make a distinction later? 
 
What decision processes do others use when making decisions about what to teach about language/grammar?
