This reminds me of the time when son had to write a term paper for 8th grade social studies. The first page of his first draft consisted of two paragraphs. The first graph was a single sentence, as was the second, too. I pointed out to him that each paragraph contained several complete sentences within, and too many separate ideas to be single paragraph.

I did some home schooling in English with him, as he seemed not to be getting instruction at school. Although he was not pleased, he did eventually get an A on his project.
