When being a student in grade school as well as in high school (1934-1946), grammar was heavily emphasized in English/language arts classes, particularly in grades four through the senior year in high school. Evidently, teachers and school administrators then saw a theoretical way to assist pupils in writing achievement. Grammar and writing were perceived as being one and the same. However, as time went on, the need was seen to stress grammar within the framework of practical, written work. Where does grammar fit in, into today's technological age with texting and cell phone utilization?
