This message was originally submitted by [log in to unmask] to the ATEG Tom Hansen, from the Illinois State Dept. of Ed, sent me the Illinois Statement of Standards, including what is expected on grammar. He also sent a message stating that I could post it on the ATEG website. (The statements related to grammar are not very long.) Although I haven't got as much time as I used to for the ATEG site, I would certainly be willing to post these guidelines and the NCTE/NCATE statements, etc. (regarding grammar). I'm not completely sure of the legal questions involved here, but if you want these things posted, send them to me. We could have a collection of the guidelines from every state. (That ought to be interesting). Thanks, Ed V.
