Study: Teaching Grammar is a Waste of Time

A study funded by the British government has determined that the traditional teaching of English grammar does not contribute to writing skills.

My high school English teachers would most certainly not approve.

This only reinforces the theory (not the fact) that the absurdity of a study's conclusions is directly proportional to the level of government funding and the number of pointy-headed academics (i.e. Ph.D.'s) involved.
