Grammar Time

Breaking Rules by Edgar Schuster

I've finally overcome my academic/professional reading aversion, and I enjoyed my first FULL book in the genre. This book a) substantiates some of my suspicions about the fallibility of grammar (only discovered since I started using mentor sentences and paying better attention to author's craft), b)takes the edge off my general grammar Naziness (already greatly reduced since my above discovery), and c) allows me some freedom in teaching grammar in a variety of ways - strength-based or mentor-text based. I would have liked it if Schuster provided a few more positive examples of what/how grammar can be taught, but I suppose that I'll have to move on to Jeff Anderson for that.
