My daughter's ninth grade English teacher said they are to write their papers without using contractions or the words: am, is , are , was, were, be , got, and pronouns.
I'm like WTH?
Is this the new trend? Or is she

my daughter finished 9th grade last year and i don't remember any thing like this.
writing a paper without using the verb forms of "to be" sounds, um, challenging; pronouns are easier.
maybe your daughter misunderstood the teacher ?

She said the teacher was SCREAMING at the kids,
"Don't use these words, it's improper literature!"
My daughter said to me, but mom, Shakespeare and all the great writers uses those words..................

"Tormented by a teacher who forced Jane to respond without using proper conjunctions, or leaning on other common linguistic conventions such as pronouns, and contractions, Jane felt her time spent at Hamilton High School wasteful and pugnacious."
Short paper.

Short paper.
Now she's telling me it might JUST BE for this one paper.....................
I'm thinking it is, I can't see an entire year of papers writing that way.
If it is one paper, then I think it's a great idea, because it does challenge them to think outside the box when writing.
Now, if it's for the entire year, not so much.
You should ask the teacher why.
It sounds very odd but I have to assume there is some reason.
Strolling, somebody may have already answered this, but . . .
I think the teacher wants your daughter to write declarative statements instead of 'state of being' statements. I think your daughter is going to be encouraged to write "I throw the ball" instead of "I am throwing the ball", or "I threw the ball" rather than "I was throwing the ball".
