[quote=Anonymous]Diagramming a sentence is not the only thing in grammar and my child has learned sentence structure without actual diagramming.  But she did not learn it in public school.  As a matter of fact, she only learned simple spelling there.  Most of reading in ES was jut reading/comprehension.   Never how to structure a sentence.  Types of sentences, types of grammar like: action, linking, helping verbs (regular and irregular), adverbs, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, subjects, predicates, prepositions, conjunctions, etc...  She also didn't get vocabulary words (defining a word, putting it correctly in a sentence and knowing the type of word it was) until private school too.  The other thing I noticed was difference was actual writing.  Knowing how to write a letter, how to start and end a paragraph, when to shift to a new paragraph. Conclusions of a short story, etc...  I am telling you, she was absolutely behind after leaving public school.  MCPS has too much focus on reading comprehension because they have to handle so many non-English students.  Lots of busy work instead of teaching to the class.  [/quote]
