I don&#x27;t think I remember actually being taught how to write in primary school.  I think they should reteach grammar in high school from the beginning.  Most people&#x27;s brains just can&#x27;t pick up a systematic treatment of some of the finer points when younger.  I went and did all the grammar quizzes over at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;grammar.ccc.commnet.edu&#x2F;grammar&#x2F;quiz_list.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;grammar.ccc.commnet.edu&#x2F;grammar&#x2F;quiz_list.htm</a> a couple of years ago.  It improved my writing a lot, and only took a weekend.
