Granted, from the 5th grade until the 8th grade, I went to a private school because the local public school in Pensacola was REALLY atrocious. But I remember diagramming sentences and we had to know and be able to name each part of a sentence (verbs, adverbs, predicate adjectives, predicate nomnatives, dependent clauses, prepositional phrases, etc....) That's served me well.
Kids don't read much these days and the stuff that they do read is online written by other idiots, so they're clueless.
Check out the movie "Idiocracy". It'll make you laugh and cry.
