This message was originally submitted by [log in to unmask] to the ATEG list Mary Ann, I am a future teacher, this is my last semester of school, and I totally agree with you. I have a degree in English and am working on my MAT, yet I haven't studied grammar since high school. I am worried. I know grammar, but I'm not so sure I could state the rules. Therefore, I intend to spend my Christmas vacation studying a grammar book. I only hope that other future teachers will realize their grammar shortcomings and do the same. Becky S.
