In this day and age, there are way too many students that turn in essays with terrible grammar. Their interests’ include: texting, gaming, Instagram-ming, & Snap-chatting. Any communications are typed out quickly to keep up with the social flow of the chat or game. If only there was more time spent on the subject of correct grammar in the earlier English classes.

This is about grammar and common grammar errors.

For those students that are always passing in the essays with terrible grammar, I implore you to search the internet for grammar tips. There are many resources on the internet, and actual textbooks on the subject of grammar in libraries that will provide you with a wealth of knowledge for academic editing prior to turning in those essays!

  1. Marks like the period and the comma make language clear and easy to understand.
  2. There are not too many punctuation marks in the English language, but they each serve a very important role.
  3. There are tons of online resources for learning about punctuation marks

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
