Fellow lovers of diagraming sentences--I salute you one and all!!!

Surprised it is not introduced until College these days.

We were diagraming in the 7th grade in that Private Prep school I mentioned.
That was the doing of my church--when the Public Schools were trashed after Martin Luther King was killed---I got to get beaten up every day as one of the 5 white girls in my junior high hair pulled out, etc--so my church stepped in and paid my way through Mayflower Queen finishing school for girls---I was the "outcast".

Hey- it was cool- only 5-7 girls in a class- you had to be on your toes!!! Prefects and such!!!

Learning foreign languages simultaneously; with the understanding that each English word had it's place; helped tremendously.

I doubt the average High School kid knows what a gerund is....i forgot anyway-ugh!

One of you must know?
