[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hear you. Kid is at Whitman. I just hope she learns to write in college. I’m an editor. I do what I can to help, but it’s shocking how remedial her skills are. She’s a reader and loves to write, but I’ve had to teach her when to use a comma. I and me? It’s and its? They’re and their and there? When did schools stop teaching kids how to diagram sentences?[/quote] My kid (not McMS) never learned to diagram. Shameful. They have no clue what’s going on structurally in a sentence [/quote] Diagramming sentences started to fall out of favor in the 1980s.[/quote] I did it in high school in 2001-2005. Anyway, kids need to learn grammar, regardless of whether it’s through diagramming sentences or some other way.[/quote] They do, but if you want them to learn, as a parent you have to do it yourself.[/quote]
