Applebee, Arthur N. Tradition & Reform in the Teaching of English: A History. NCTE, 1974. [H, R, N7] [derides the "direct teaching" of grammar, based on "the old and well-documented evidence that grammatical knowledge has no demonstrable relationship to writing ability ...." (249-50) Although he claims that it is well-documented, Applebee provides no footnote or other documentation. Such claims are often repeated and are an embarrassment to the English profession. Would someone please show me a person who can write and who has never been taught any grammar? To prove that there is no relationship, the people who make the claim should put their children into special schools, starting in kindergarten, where they would not be taught any rules of punctuation, capitalization, etc.Why haven't they done so?]
